flush system #145

Open bassyboi opened 2 months ago

bassyboi commented 2 months ago

just wondering if maybe adding a flush system when dealing with chemicals to prime up chemicals and flush out chemicals for changing chemicals and cleaning boom for components longevity...

The new controller now includes an option to turn all solenoids on which could be used for flushing. Recirculating booms are quite common for the reasons you mention too.

Is that what you're thinking of?

yeah neat i was thinking maybe keyboard presses but like b button to start flush on timer and e to stop if need

Ah I see, yeh that makes sense. Pretty easy to add if you think it's worthwhile? I can put in a 'flush' option as you mention if you press 'f' on the keyboard. Useful if you have a keyboard out in the field I guess! Will be on the all the controllers as well.
