Long time user, and don't know crap

Good luck the next couple of years. With Polis and Dem majority in State congress, it is not gonna be easy.

Uh, yeah. Ugh. Did my best to stop it.

When I try uploading the Feeder code, it gives me an error:
Send Failed

//Error: line 2 - Valid keywords following If are Temp, pH, ORP, DO, Cond, Par, Feed, SwX, Error, Power, Sun, or Moon // If Output vFeed = ON Then ON

I'm trying to paste this in the advanced mode:
Set OFF
If Output vFeed = ON Then ON
Defer 001:00 Then ON

Did you rename the VO to vFeed and program it first? If not it will throw an error because it doesn't recognize vFeed until you do.

Is there any way i can use the "programming for dummies" as a work around, and just time my AFS and vFeed together?

When I get back from Germany, I plan on trying to update my Neptune.

[DWeeBIII]

Yep, sure did.

I think I know the problem. Have you updated your firmware in the past year or so? If you haven't you actually have to use the word Outlet instead of Output.

I think I might have it. Or, more properly, YOU might have it.

Would this be the right code for my Skimmer?
Fallback ON
Set ON
If FeedA 010 Then OFF
Defer 005:00 Then ON
If Outlet vFeed = ON Then OFF
Defer 005:00 Then ON

[DWeeBIII]

Changing Output to Outlet allowed it to accept the code.

Should I get rid of my "Feed A" statements in my pumps and such, since the Vfeed takes care of all that (isn't that what the statement in the vFeed code is?)?

I would do this instead for your skimmer. It's a more reliable method. Make sure the power monitor setting is OFF (in the display system -> misc settings)

Fallback OFF
Set ON
If Output ReturnName = ON Then OFF
If Power Apex Off 001 Then OFF
Defer 005:00 Then OFF

Yes you can get rid of the feedA statements since the vFeed will be active when feedA is so they are redundant if you keep them.

But what if I don't want the AFS to run, as in when I feed my tank manually?

[DWeeBIII]

So I can remove all of these statements in the Outlets:
If FeedA 005 Then OFF

Depends on what you want to do

1. If you still want a manual way to activate the AFS, you could keep the vFeed coding as is and use FeedB for manual frozen etc feeds. Add FeedB to return, pumps, etc.

2. Same as 1 but you want FeedB for AFS feeding and FeedA for feeding other things. Replace FeedA with FeedB in the vFeed outlet and keep the FeedA intact in your return, pumps, etc.

3. You don't want a manual AFS activation. Remove FeedA from the vFeed Outlet and leave it intact in return, pumps, etc.

See my above response, but if you want a 5 minute feed on your return for example that isn't tied to the AFS, you should actually use 000 not 005. That number after the feed indicates how long the line is true AFTER the feed timer ends. If your FeedA is set to 5 minutes, FeedA 005 actually runs for 10 minutes.

Leaving for Germany today. All my tests show it's working properly. I'll fine tune when I get home.

Gotta thank you for your help. I REALLY owe you.

You can thank me by getting the magazine ban removed
