    How to Program Feeder for 2 rotations?

    I have tried suggestions posted on other threads to get my feeder to do two drum rotations but have not been successful (ideally, I would like to have the second drum rotation 1 minute after the first for each feeding).

    I used the template to input the number of feedings per day (3X) and for rotations I chose 2,and this is what the program reads (under Advanced). Can someone tell me what is missing for me to add to the code?

    Thanks.

    OSC 000:00/000:30/000:30 Then ON
    If Time 0:00 to 08:00 Then OFF
    If Time 8:03 to 12:00 Then Off
    If Time 12:03 to 16:00 Then OFF
    If Time 16:03 to 00:00 Then OFF
    If Feed A 000 Then ON

    That will give you 2 rotations each 3 times a day. If you want additional behavior like return or skimmer turning off, extra code and/or different approaches will be needed to accomplish that.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    Thanks for the reply. The problem is that using the code that was in my original post, the feeder only rotates once (not 2 rotations) each 3 times a day. The code seems right but obviously, the feeder is not doing what its supposed to (give me 2 rotations each 3 times a day). What am I doing wrong?

    Plus, if I can get it to give me 2 rotations, ideally I would like to have the second drum rotation 1 minute after the first rotation for each feeding. What would be the correct code to get that?

    From what I understand, you just add another minute to the feeder time, and it will run another revolution.
