The only problem is really when you are using low power LEDs connected directly to the channels without a driver.

Guess we'll find out

Can I dim three, 2x54w ballasts (HEP SD254-58) from a single channel on the older relay box? Box has the analong/PWM jumper. I have both channels available and assume I can operate two ballast from a single channel (cant remember the limitation here) but I was hoping to leave one free for different ...

Would I be able to use this without grabbing an Expansion Hub (currently running an expansion relay plus the original relay)?

I have the old relay expansion; would this just connect to the RA* USB and then the normal 25pin cable from the expansion to the old relay or would this require the Expansion Hub as well? No, you need one of the old Relay expansion modules. I don't have them in the webstore anymore as I'm in the pr...

How does this work. Is it connected via ttl/usb to windows 10? I want to get a windows 2 in 1 or a full windows tablet and connect to it will this work? I have it connected to my desktop (works on Windows 7 and 10) via USB/TTL. In the Settings, Notifications tab, you must check the "send param...

Duh, never thought about doing it that way. Thanks.

Is there a way to delay this after a power failure as well? Something with ReefAngel.Init(); ?

I saw that, do you know if it is available to buy the relay hub as a stand alone item? I'm keen on buying a second hand system (has dimming expansion etc. that I don't have) and it would be nice to add the relays if possible. PS.... the new boxes look great, I would migrate everything into that loo...

Alternates perfectly, was just hoping to have some overlap with both running for a short period so it would create a little more turbulence occasionally. Guess I can implement that once I get a dimming expansion and hook the pumps up to that.

OK, but is there a way to accomplish what I'm after?

I'm trying to get this functionality working as well and am not seeming to have any luck. What I think was supposed to happen in the code was that there would be a 5 second overlap every 90 seconds but that doesnt seem to be the case. #include <ReefAngel_Features.h> #include <Globals.h> #include <RA...

Hmm, my confusion seems to stem from only certain ports being available for Wavemaker use; they're greyed out on everything but ports 5 and 6 on both relay boxes. How do I make them alternate (i.e. relay 5 on for 120s and then relay 6 on for 120s)?

Edit: got it figured out

I have a pair of Jebaos (WP25 and a PP8) but dont have the module to control them or the cables yet. In the meantime, I'd like to have them come on at alternating intervals (every two minutes they switch or something similar). How would I go about doing this? Right now, they're on relay 8 and box 1 ...

Here is the excerpt from my code that references SunLocation. I think it's pretty self explanatory. One thing to keep in mind is that if sun.UseMemory==true, which is the default, then it will write the Daylight on/off times each day. $ egrep -i 'SunLocation|sun\.' Wizard65.ino #include <SunLocatio...

What he means is one float switch is off in the up position, and the other one is on in the up position. Solved by turning the float over.

So I could have both switches mounted in the down position and just flip the drum (float)? That would make my OCD happy LOL.

Inverted? You can swap the polarity (if that is an issue); you can use a pin/xacto knife or any other narrow item to gently push down on the lead in the connector (visible from the top of the connector). The leads will slide right out with almost no resistance (if there is resistance, don't pull). C...

When you run the Init function you set the coordinates. If you don't specify it will use GBR coordinates by default I see reference to Great Barrier Reef in there but nothing else; is that just a reference? I dont have any issues using that lat/long, I was just curious. I'm not even going to try an...

Where are the sunrise/sunset times coming from? I see GPS mentioned but don't understand where the information is being pulled from in the code.

I just recently got the RA setup and have been using the client for the past few days. I was curious if the issue in the attachment is related to something I've inadvertently done or just something with the client. If I did it, any idea how to reverse what I've done LOL? The issue is that I have a f...

Thanks!

Thanks; I didn't realize it had to be internal memory when you made adjustments from the controller, I thought that was only through the portal/app.

Looking at the code, it shows 79° and 80° but that isnt what is displayed on the actual controller when you go into the temp menu. Can that not be adjusted on the fly? #include <ReefAngel_Features.h> #include <Globals.h> #include <RA_Wifi.h> #include <Wire.h> #include <OneWire.h> #include <Time.h> #...

Controller is set to turn heater on at 77° and off at 78° but it actually turns on at 79.1° and off at 79.9° according to temp sensor 1 (no other temp sensors plugged in). I dont mind the delta between the two but it seemed odd that the controller and sensor were off by a degree. Is this normal beha...

Wasnt able to find this on the order tab; is it something that is no longer available?

I would like to paint the relay box but wasnt sure how to remove the top cover from the PCB; do the outlets just unplug from the PCB? I did a little bit of pulling but it didnt budge and I didnt want to break anything.

rimai wrote:That's I mentioned above.
Just move the jumpers to turn your box into an analog version.
Older version didn't have the capability. Luckily, yours can

Awesome, thanks again for the information rimai

rimai wrote:They do.
They are set just like in the photo.
That's why your box is currently PWM and not analog.

So there is no difference in the relay boxes? I thought there were versions of the box that didnt have the capability to do analog.

The label is inverted.
It shows Analog/PWM, but it is in fact PWM/Analog

Excellent news; thank you rimai!

So do the PWM only boxes not have the jumpers?
