Will be going away for 2 weeks so need to run two auto feeders. Can I program 1 to run for 1week then the other to kick in the following week. If so how can I program them. Or is there a better way to do this. Thanks

No, but you could use identical programming, set one to AUTO and the other one to OFF. Set a calendar reminder in your phone so you don't forget to swap which one is in AUTO after a week.

I have two AFS running on my system. What is your feeding schedule? One per day? Twice a day? There are many combinations you could do. For twice day, alternate them each day. One feeding per day on alternate days, assigning one to 3 days and the other to 4 days. How do you want to feed? For example, I have Anthias, so I need many small feedings per day. I have one coming on at 8am and 2pm and the other coming on at 11am and 5pm each day. You have a lot of options to automate this.
Will be feeding twice a day. So could do one 3 days and one four thanks
How do you set the feeder for just 3 days of the week?
I have two feeders: AFS1 and AFS2.
My AFS1 runs at 8:04am and 2:04pm (2 Feedings per day) and 2 Drum Rotations. If you change the control type from FEEDER to ADVANCED you can see the code generated by the wizard.
OSC 000:00/000:30/000:30 Then ON
If Time 00:00 to 08:03 Then OFF
If Time 08:06 to 14:03 Then OFF
If Time 14:06 to 00:00 Then OFF
If FeedA 000 Then ON
You should have something similar. You will have less statements or more statements depending on how many Feedings per day and of course your times will be different. You will see a FEED statement. Add the following statement at the bottom (If don't want Day of Week to override the FEED statement then place this statement above it):
If DoW -M-W-F- Then OFF
This statement will make sure that AFS1 is ALWAYS OFF Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. But will come ON Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday depending on the statements above it.
My AFS2 runs at 11:04am and 5:04pm (2 Feedings per day) and 2 Drum Rotations. If you change the control type from FEEDER to ADVANCED you can see the code generated by the wizard.
OSC 000:00/000:30/000:30 Then ON
If Time 00:00 to 11:03 Then OFF
If Time 11:06 to 17:03 Then OFF
If Time 17:06 to 00:00 Then OFF
If FeedB 000 Then ON
Add this statement at the bottom:
If DoW S-T-T-S Then OFF
This statement will make sure that AFS2 is ALWAYS OFF Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. But will come ON Monday, Wednesday, and Friday depending on the statements above it.
No Worries.
