Reef Angel Forum

Dangit - it's things like this that make me want to send mine back for the upgrade while my tank is being built. Especially if that additional display screen ever comes out.

I can't help on all those points, but as for plug spacing you could probably get away with using those short (6in) plug extenders (something like this http://www.amazon.com/Ziotek-ZT1212542-Liberator-14-Inch-Extension/dp/B000EWVSZK/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1333394046&sr=1-2) ...

Ah, well... I already have ordered the drivers otherwise I would have no problem going with your advice. I hadn't even heard of the LPF series.

Thanks for the reply - if you have the time to check out the first thread I listed, if I follow his directions will I be alright? (in measuring accurately - I have a different multimeter than he does so I'll probably be posting more questions with pictures about what setting is what in a few weeks)

Setting up my LED fixture - and I have some questions about testing and balancing my parallel strings. LED's : 48 3w 6,5k Bridgelux LED's - 24 per driver in 2 parallel strings of 12 Drivers: 2 x Meanwell ELN-60-48p I'm using these threads to help me figure out wiring (and how to do it all properly) ...

Thanks for the additional boost to my confidence in the Bridgelux LED's Steve!

I just got mine this morning in the mail, very fast shipping. I ordered 50 (I'm only using 48) and they included 2 extra LED's and a LED tester.

Sounds great! I've tried getting some info on DIY led builds and as soon as you say that you're not going to be using the Cree LED's the flow of information stops, haha.

Wish there was an announcement thread or an 'in development' section, although I'm not really on the forums much which may be the reason I've never heard of the RA+ until now.

Thanks! That is definitely within my skill level. I will fix this up tonight!

How difficult would you consider re-wiring the relay box? Would you mind taking a picture of what you are talking about? While the other 'fix' is tempting, I got the RA to cut down on plug craziness.

Is this dangerous? What steps can be taken (on the end user side) to reduce the risks?

Ahh. Haha - the support here is great! I didn't want to sound whiny, just a bit frustrated. I think I have my side fixed now. Thanks! The problem I have with uploading was 1st upload the internal memory and then the new code generated by RAGen.

I'm having some similar problems Treamaya - I went with the "How to Guide" at first and manually installed the drivers and the update app. Then I found the 'real' ReefAngel installer and used it - the installer put new drivers in - I can compile code with the Arduino app included (I couldn...

You can download the Arduino application from their website. You should then be able to edit the code manually - I think the RAGen is Windows-only though.

I don't think so :

these are no longer available

Awesome!

This would probably end up being better for running a dripwall.

A specific function sounds much better for the purpose of misting. My only real experience programming so far is the TI series calculators like 10 years ago... hahaha.

Hmm.

So...
Would be 4 hrs 15min after midnight (255), then 14400 seconds later (4 hours later), roughly 8:15am - the pump would run for 8 seconds, then every 4 hours after that? 12,16,20, 0 (?)

I am not sure what you mean by specific function.

Ahh. The more examples of coding I see, the less intimidating it becomes. Would you mind telling me what the "0" part of it means? If I wanted specific times (lets say 30 minutes after the lights come on) would I just have to figure it out from the 'on' value on whatever line of code the l...

I'd like to run a misting pump (basically an RO booster pump) and I probably wouldn't need to run it for a minute at a time. I would like to be able to run it, maybe 15-30 seconds 3 times a day. Is the Reef Angel capable of this - and if so, how would I code it?

Thanks!

Great information!

I'd just like to start this thread by saying that I know absolutely nothing about working with an Arduino. Early last year I poked around on the arduino (.cc) forums about having a temperature and humidity logging system built. (I just found this site yesterday)A member, PaulS, very generously volun...
