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...

Hi Friends, sorry for that but somebody could share with me your Kessil code? I would like see how are using this device with Reef Angel. I'm one new user. Now I'm using one Parabola configuration from the RA Wizard. ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight( PWMParabola(10,0,20,0,15,40,15) ); ReefAngel.PWM.SetAct...

You must have been using the Reef Angel Client then. You need to install it in your new computer. I was and I still have it but apparently I've done something differently. The client pulls the labels from portal without issue but doesnt seem to push data. Edit: "Send parameters to Reef Angel.....

No, I dont have the WiFi module (dragging my feet because I need the expansion module too).

I had to reinstall Windows about a week ago and I havent been able to get the portal to update since. I'm connected via USB. Not sure what I did before that I'm not doing now (migrated from Windows 7 to 10). I have connectivity to the controller and have pushed updated sketches without issue. Any id...

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...

If you have Channel 11 and 12 then I'm guessing you have a custom 16 channel module? If so then the correct function to use instead of: ReefAngel.PWM.Channel11PWMSlope(lightOffset,0); Use: ReefAngel.PWM.SIXTEENChannelPWMSlope(11, 0, 100, 60, lightOffset, 0); // Channel / Start % / End % / Duration ...

OK, new stumbling block. I have two lights with two channels each (SBReef 16"). I have channel 11 running the actinics and 12 running the whites off of the relay dimming ports. I'm not sure how to make the changes to adapt your code that uses the dimming expansion to the relay box dimming outpu...

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.

I've been trying to adapt your code to my setup and am getting a "'class ReefAngelClass' has no member named 'LCD'" error in the validation process. Is this related to the NokiaLCD.h? I'm not sure how to continue from this point. Edit: reinstalled arduino software and it seems to be fine n...

if (now()%90<5)

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 ...

Went offline around 6pm (est) for me yesterday.

Edit: logging out and back in worked for me.

Anyone found a suction cup that is the right size for the temp probes? I had a bunch on hand but nothing has been close so far.

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.

It's sounds like a good idea, but what happens if the stray voltage is your return pump and it shut that port off then a back siphon starts and your sump overflows. Or your heater or chiller shuts off and the tank gets to the improper temp. If the sump overflows during a back siphon, the sump needs...
