Reef Angel Forum

So this allows incoming connection what happens to outgoing for portal updates? Errr... sorry, obviously haven't checked the forums in awhile. I haven't really messed with the portal to see what it does for updating. I do know it allows Reeftronics to read the controller state and update it's logs ...

I've added the solution file to git. I've also updated the application to run as a windows service and included an installer/uninstaller. The link below will take you directly to the compiled binaries. Simply double click the install.bat file to get up and running. https://github.com/smande00/ReefAn...

Hah! No worries, that's not at all how I took it. I'm all for options, and I'm glad to see such a simple built in solution is available on the mac & linux platforms. Something tells me there's probably something similar floating around for windows as well.

Sure - I have to actually write the installer still though :) I should be able to get that put together tonight or tomorrow at the latest (along with moving the application to a service). There's also some hardening of the code that needs to get done before I'd recommend anyone actually rely on this...

Ok cool! Thanks much!

Nope - no stickers. At the end of the day it's no biggie one way or the other as I'll ultimately need both analog and PWM dimming as well as more than just two channels so I'll be purchasing the dimming expansion, but I thought it would be fun to play with it in the interim.

So.... I picked up my RA second hand and have no idea of it's using PWM or Analog dimming. Is there a way to tell without opening up the relay unit?

lnevo - I agree there's really nothing to these things so I'd be surprised if there's not already multiple options out there on other OSes (or windows for that matter). It certainly shouldn't be hard to put something together if they're not. At any rate - https://github.com/smande00/ReefAngelTcpToSe...

Awesome, I have no problem with either of those. I'll put what I have on github tonight and post the link back on this thread.

So forgive me if this is something that's already available or not needed - I'm just excited I got it working so easily :) I hacked together a very quick and dirty app that will accept traffic on TCP port 2000 and forward it to the COM3 port. The long and the short of it is I'm able to use the Andro...

Awesome - I appreciate the quick response!

Smartphone apps are no biggie for me personally - I prefer to expose this kind of stuff as web applications that run on my server at home. Leaves a consistent interface across the non-homogeneous pool of devices we collect at our house

Hey everyone - I finished reading a thread from last January (2013) about whether or not you could extend the USB-TTL cable and use that as a wifi module replacement. I had a couple related questions, but I didn't want to revive such an old thread so I figured I'd start a new one. At any rate here g...
