I have two gyre pumps on opposing sides of my tank and have gyre interface modules running them. I set them up as per your video, and the night time program the pumps seem to be running a full speed. I set these up as per your online video. Help

There is a bug on the Apex OS so here is a post where I go over the bug and how to get around it. Sounds like you may need to make those edits to your programming...

Hi Carlos
Can you please look at these code and tell me if you see any problem in the codes, as i am still having issues with one side being no flow than the other. Is it possible one of the modules is no good, i can switch the modules around and it will change to different side.

Thanks
Bob

Your virtual night and virtual night tm are not correct. They have an extra line that you don't need.

would this cause one side on day time to be more powerful than the other side or do you think this is a problem with one of the modules, the problem will go with module when i switch it form left to right and vice versa

When you mean one side, do you mean one half of the gyre or do you mean going reverse as opposed to forward? Just want to make sure we are talking about the same thing here.

the left side gyre is pumping more than the opposing side, and if i switch around modules it seems to follow the module

Ok that means the pump is not assembled correctly. Please provide us with pictures of the pump from the front. Make sure that they are close but I am still able to see both sides of the pump. I need to see the cages and the propellers. Once I have that, I can give you instructions on how to fix it.

The module cannot tell the pump to run just half of it. You cannot run the pump on different directions at the same time. So if one side of the pump is not working, it is not because of the module but because of the way the pump has been assembled.

ok, it is not that one side of the pump, has a problem, it is that i have two gyres facing each other on opposite sides of the tank, and one will be running a higher force than the other.

Here is a link to the Neptune forum where I posted a revised version of the code on the Alternating Gyre Mode Video. It takes into consideration an Apex OS bug that we found...
