Good morning everyone.
I am new to OSC codes and I can’t seem to get my plank to turn on at all using the codes. I’ve tested it and it works. I’ve also tested the Sicce pump and it works. No matter what code I use it won’t come on at all.

My goal is to have the plank turn on at 10 am and 1 pm and rotate for 10 seconds, I would then like the Sicce pump to turn on as well and run for 5 minutes.

This is the code I have been using. (The code is set for 9/2/7 but I did that as a test I want 10 and 1pm)

This is the code for the plank
Fallback OFF
OSC 240:00/000:30/059:30 Then ON
If Time 15:01 to 08:59 Then OFF

This is the code for the pump
Fallback OFF
OSC 240:00/005:00/059:30 Then ON
If Time 15:01 to 08:59 Then OFF

I have them both set to auto and log enabled. Any help is extremely appreciated

The OSC command really needs a total time frame that divides equally into 24 hours (unless you want the timing to change daily). It does not start over and reset from midnight each day.

Here is a recent thread detailing a couple of approaches for the Plank.

Thank you. Going to give this a read and see if it helps.

This is what I did over my new setup, does 3 feedings Noon, 4PM, 8PM

Before I get grilled, I'm aware that the time off doesn't coincide with run times.

PLANK

Fallback OFF
OSC 001:00/001:00/238:00 Then ON
If Time 22:00 to 10:00 Then OFF


PLANK-PUMP

Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/030:00/210:00 Then ON
If Time 22:00 to 10:00 Then OFF

Here is the log to help you understand each run. adjust your code as needed
