How to program apex feeder

[eric.battani]

I want to program my apex feeder to feed on Tuesday Thursday and Saturday. How do I write that code (line for line) I tried so many different ways but it kept giving me errors. Thank you for taking time to read this.

At the most basic level, you can just apply this code to your feeder:

Set OFF
If Time 12:00 to 12:01 Then ON
If DOW SM-W-F- Then OFF

Just adjust the time you want to feed.

If you also want to coordinate this with turning off pumps or other devices, then check out my Apex Feed Cycles programming tutorial: https://www.reef2reef.com/ams/neptune-apex-programming-tutorials-part-7-feed-cycles.715/

Well the apex accepted the code but it didn’t turn it on sadly

Did you verify that the feeder operates? If you manually move its slider to ON, does the feeder rotate?

Also, I'm assuming you had the slider set to AUTO at feeding time, correct?

I actually added part of the code you suggested to the code that the apex uses and now it works. Thank you so much for you help.
