Reef Angel Forum

On the android app, any time i try to update, it gives me error 13 host unreachable. The portal works fine, i am sure i just don't have something configured properly. Any suggestions?

The float switch I was using as my ATO seems to have stopped working properly. I replaced it with the other and the ATO resumed normal function. I was wondering if there was a way to test if the switch was working properly or not since i have another use for the second switch?

Thanks for the help, Roberto. I got it done last night.

Is there a thread on how to do this?

I am getting this as the status on my Portal: Reef Angel Reef Angel wifi address: 192.168.1.106:2000 My reefangelid: MDB1029 Connection Status: Unreachable Address Last Update: 5/8/2015, 2:43:52 PM Displaying data from: Webbanner database So it looks like it is reporting to the portal but i am unabl...

Thank you for the info. I will let you know how it goes.

So i would need to add #include <SunLocation.h> with the other #include lines? I would add SunLocation sun; under ////// Place global variable code below here ? If this is correct, then this is where I am stuck. Not using Internal memory, I know the lines #define Mem_I_Latitude 108 #define Mem_I_Lon...

Ahh, ok. No, the SunLocation class does not deal directly with memory you would have to do that part on your own. You'd then need to use the web api or "custom memory locations" support that some apps have. Here's some of the code you can find in my INO that will define the custom memory ...

My use of the word customize is changing the code outside of the wizard.

Is the library set to a certain location? Can the location be changed?

What would I need to add and where do I add it?

Roberto; I'm sorry. I thought I read in another thread that you have added that feature to the dimming ports on the relay. Sorry if I was wrong. I don't like giving out incorrect information. No worries. I'm just trying to figure out a way to get my lights working the way I want them as soon as pos...

Ultimately I will get the dimming module as soon as funds become available. It just seems my coral are unhappy with the amount of light they are getting currently and the LDDs should provide more power per string.

I bought the unit and installed it last week. It is brand new, not used. I don't know a lot about the electrical side of things, I have been told LDDs have 0-5v signal and the ELNs i currently have are 0-10v. I have no idea what would happen if the LDDs got 5.1-10v. And I am willing to change a jump...

You can run multiple LDD drivers off of a single dimming port. It's not going to divide the dimming voltage in half. the drives will still get 1-10v. If you have a new dimming modules you can open it up and change the jumpers inside to be 0-5 rather than 0-10v I don't have a dimming port yet and am...

So this is going to be my first alteration of my code outside of generating a code through the wizard, so pardon my need to be spoken to like i am 5 years old in advance. I know Inevo has it in his code but I don't know what i need to copy over and where i need to put it. I would like it to be set t...

That sounds correct. Assuming your parallel strings were identical, they would split the amperage 50/50. You'll end up with more brightness using the LDD's as you have described. You'll definitely need to acclimate. There's code around here somewhere that can do that automatically. --Colin If the o...

So the probe is still giving steady readings. Since i was having trouble with it before should i recalibrate it?

How often should you calibrate the probe?

When i got home this evening, the probe had been in the sump for 10 hours or so and was solidly sitting at 8.2. I checked with the meter and still had the voltage registering about 14v. This seems to fluctuate a bit. I started unplugging things and the probe didn't fluctuate more than .01 the entire...

I don't know. I doubt that's your problem, as my probe is near my skimmer and doesn't have issues. When you're unplugging and testing, are you using a meter, or are you observing the pH reading? Try going by the pH reading only. Meters are iffy sometimes. Start unplugging things and see if the pH r...

It was suggested that bubbles, especially tiny bubbles coming from my skimmer which is a couple inches away could be giving bad readings, any truth to this?

The water completes a pathway between the display and the sump, so it could be in either one (or less likely, something in both). You unplugged all pumps, powerheads, heaters, and float switches? Everything in the tank and in the sump? --Colin I did. I only have 2 PHs in the DT and some of the thin...

Low pH readings are usually stray voltage in the tank. The pH probe completes the circuit to ground. Start unplugging stuff one at a time to narrow it down. A bad float switch can also cause this problem so don't forget about them. --Colin This is exactly what i did. I found nothing which took the ...

It settled right around 8.1 which is what it was reading initially and most of yesterday. When i turned the screen on today it was just sitting at 1.00 and didn't change at all. Last night everytime i would turn the screen on it would be something different and at first it was going back to 8.1 then...

Testing this now. I did check with the multimeter to see if there was any voltage present in the cup, there is not any.

Could the voltage in the water cause it to give seemingly random readings?

I will post result of pH in cup shortly.

So after installing the RA yesterday and calibrating the pH probe, I am getting fluctuations in the pH being reported. I have seen 1 and 11 to give you a feel for the fluctuations. I figured this could be to stray voltage, which there is stray voltage in my sump. 10v is what is showing on my multime...

I appreciate your help.

This may seem like a dumb question but i can't find an answer to it. Do i set my heater to its highest setting? I assume this is what you would do but i don't know this for sure. The heater i have is ViaAqua titanium which has its own temp probe if that makes any difference. Also i have a second hea...

I guess I have a bad USB port on my computer. I switched it after OP and it fired right up. So Resolved

"An error has occured please try again" is the message i get when i hit generate and upload on the wizard. What am i doing wrong or how can i fix it?

Thank you, i really appreciate all your help.

one last question. The ELN drivers one has i think 650 mA going to 2 parallel strings and the other was something like 1200 mA also to 2 parallel strings. If i use 1 650 ma LDD per string and 1 1000 mA LDD per the other strings, neither parallel, The LDDs will give more power to the strings of diode...
