Hey everyone, I wanted a second set of eyes to look over this code. I'm no way familiar with OSC code. I used the www.reeftronics.net code generator. Using a BRS 1.1ml Doser which actually is dosing 2ml per minute. I'm trying to dose 9.6 throughout the day dosing every hour. This is the code it generated:
OSC 000:00/000:12/059:48 Then ON

Is this correct? Thank you.
 
The OSC statement says turn ON for 12 seconds, OFF for 59 minutes & 48 seconds then repeat. Because 0:12 + 59:48 = exactly 60 minutes, the repetition will be precisely every hour.

9.6ml / 24 hourly doses = 0.4 ml per hour.
12 seconds = 0.2 minutes. 0.2 minutes at 2ml/min = 0.4 ml
The math checks.

So what I understand from your post was "The match checks" lol but seriously thank you for explaining it in detail. I'll have to read this a a few more times to understand it. Thank you sir!!!!
