Which device are you using to read the data from the probe? The display, or are you getting the low readings from a client application? I did have a similar problem with an intermittent ph low alarm being sent to my email from the Windows client. I still got that intermittent alarm with the probe in...

Rebooted client machine and haven't been getting the alerts since, so it must have been the client as you hinted...

That's the only way so far I know about it... The alerts from the client app.

I have not seen the low values when I view in the iPhone app.

What's the next thing to check? I have the same issue (frequent temp drops on the ph reading) and it kept happening in the cup of tank water. Fairly new probe, a few months old. Thanks.

When mine was on the door I had a drop of water go in the controller in space around the temp probe plugs and fried one of the chips on the board (Roberto graciously repaired it, I bought a plus board upgrade anyway). Must have happened during maintenance. I've since moved everything outside the cab...

It was definitely the board, just as you suggested. The new board works fine and there are no issues with the relay box.

Small amount of corrosion appears on the outside of the HD15 connector. Everything else looks fine.

If it didn't come with the unit I don't have one.

Somewhere, I have everything you sent me

there is one jumper I can find on the board. It is on a bank of three, two pin connectors between the joystick and the serial port where the USB and Wifi cables connect. it is on the pair of pins to the far left towards the joystick.

I have it open but do not see SCA or SCL pins labeled. can you please point to where they are on the board?

I gave it a reboot and waited a few minutes but all that appears in the Serial Monitor is this

No. That doesn't seem to do anything.

It uploads (avrdude done), leaving the power LED on, status LED off, nothing on LCD, no sound from the relay box.

Yes, it sure does.

No extra modules other than wifi.

I'm willing to troubkeshoot if it might come back. If its a lost cause I guess not.

What is turnaround for repair and cost?

Green led stays on but LCD screen backlight goes off after loading code. It's like it's still stuck in the feed mode.

Memory does load but I do not see anything on the LCD screen. Red light blinks like normal loading but nothing on LCD and no response from joystick.

The first time I reloaded the files after I did the memory file the display had the message to then load my program code. But it didn't fix the problem so I tried again and now e en though the arduino program says "avrdude done. Thank you. " there is nothing on the screen. The backlight wa...

About 4 hours ago I toggled feeding mode from the iPhone app then fed the tank and forgot about it for a while. I realize now nothing is run ing. There was power to the lights which were left on during feeding. But they had not dimmed on schedule. Pumps had not restarted. No response from app or fro...

is there a simple way to add a "sleep" timer in between the toggles? So that I can do something like Wavemaker 1 comes on for random time between X and Y seconds When that time is complete, there is a delay of Z seconds Wavemaker 2 comes on for random time between A and B seconds when comp...

I'm trying to use some of this code for the wavemakers, and am finding that after my nighttime period, which is supposed to end at 8am, that port 5 is staying stuck ON. Not continuing to follow its overnight setting which is the WavemakerRandom at 25-30 seconds, but just staying on until I reset the...

This error may not actually be related. But I still have the question on how to disable ATO. Thanks

Hi, I've moved my ATO to a dedicated controller so would like to disable it to save the code space for other functions. What is the easiest way to do it? I've commented out the #include <RA_ATO.h> statement in my INO file, and the ATO functions assigned to the relay port, but still get an error when...

That is a tricky question. Although you can send commands over wifi, you can only send to one server. Usually people send data to the reefangel.com server to keep their webbanner updated, but you can send to any server of your choice. In this context, commands = events? = data? Guess I will have to...

This did the trick; no problems on a different PC.

OK, no worries. I will do the configuration work on a more modern machine. The one that is throwing the errors is an older industrial PC that I am using to run the client software (works fine) so it may be the hardware that is challenged.... it's a 500MHz Via processor with 512 MB RAM :) ... Thanks ...

thanks for the quick reply. Are there any other prerequisites to the 0.9.0 installer?

On a machine that previously did not have any RA software installed (XP SP3) I installed the 0.9.0 package from the download page, which installed with no errors. As an initial test, I opened RA Generator, and selected the items similar to my running sketch (which was done on another machine). After...

Did you read through this post? http://forum.reefangel.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=240 I did but not as closely as I did this time. I am now clear that it will run until high switch is on or the timeout is exceeded. This I guess means that unless the two switches are mounted quite close together (i...

I have set up the two float switches in the standard configuration (low switch with wires at top). The low switch activates the relay properly. However, the float switch does not seem to turn off/disengage the relay. It only shuts off either after the 60s timer expires (requiring me to clear the ala...
