    Hi,

    I just started trying to set up my dual xf150 horizontal across from each other.

    I watched your videos on youtube, the alternating gyre video and started the sync-antisync video. So I was able to program 1 gyre using the alternating, using just a sync 2 mode (night and day modes). Basically All I want to do is have my second Gyre run the same exact program, except to run it with a 30 second delay.

    Is there any way to do this, or do I have to do the sync-antisync virtual outlet route? It seems silly to have to go through creating all the virtual outlets when I simply want to run the same program with a 30 second delay from my other gyre. I mean I don't really care if they are synced, For example, i could have one alternate 30 forward, 30 backward, and then the other 45 forward, 45 backward, which would ensure a random flow.

    Since I don't necessarily think I need them to sync perfectly, and simply want forward and backward motion, and sometimes having them both forward, sometimes having them both backward, does it make sense that I just repeat the alternating gyre programming twice?

    Or Could I simply use the initial time off to have the second gyre start it's cycle when the first gyre is on reverse mode? I haven't gotten my second apex/gyre interface yet, so I haven't been able to confirm that I can do this, but I figure if I start the pulse at 10AM and both and one is delayed by 30 seconds and the alternation is 30 seconds, would this work just fine?

    Thanks

    i am having an issue for moths, as it sits now i have two 150 gyres facing each other programmed as they should be, but they won't ramp, one sits at 90% and the other at 25%, is this a pump module thing or is it a problem with apex?

    Did you modify the programming to reflect ALL the changes on this post?

    Carlosreef,

    I have 2 Gyre 150s programmed exactly as you have it earlier in this post. Everything is fine except when it runs the pulsing they are out of synch. How can I fix this.

    Thanks,

    CJ

    What is LH-Gyre-pump and RH-Gyre-pump? If you are calling them via other outlets you may have a programming conflict and may be what is causing the issue. If you are not using them, please delete the profiles and make sure that no outlet is calling them anywhere.

    those are the Physical Outlets

    the outlets below are where the power supply is plugged in to

    Pumps should not be connected to the EB8. The pump is controlled by the VariableSpeed port so connecting them to the EB8 is a waste of outlet and will cause programming issues. Plug the pumps to a regular outlet or manually set the EB8 outlets to always on.

    well it looks like the right hand side is working properly but the left hand side just stays on. no ramping no nothing just on at i would say 50%

    Hello. Thanks for sharing. I noticed a number of edits throughout the forum thread. Is there a chance someone could provide a completed script for running two gyre duals?
