This is my first post.
I am attempting to make a controller for my aquarium, and a big part of this is dosing fertilizers. I have an RTC and and LCD screen functional. And i am now attempting to add timer functionality through use of the Time.h and TimeAlarms.h libraries.
I can not for the life of me get it to work, the alarms never trigger.
If i run the example in the TimeAlarms.h library and then add the RTC libraries and set the time using the RTC etc, The alarms work.
But back in my program, not the case.
Well what if i copy parts of the example program right into myprogram, nope still nothing.
I am currently using the timerRepeat(,) function to print to serial every 2 seconds.
This works in the example program.
My other issue, is that i cant seem to get it to print to my lcd from within the alarm, when using lcd.print it says "lcd was not declared in this scope". seems to work fine everywhere else =\
So after much banging my head against the keyboard I came her, I have tried everything and am hopeful you guys will be able to pinpoint my error.
