Yeesss!! It works now! I could upload the new code. Thank you very, very much!

I have checked. When I plug in the converter cable into a USB port of the PC, I can see in the device manager that it appears "FT232R USB UART" under "Other devices", but with a small exclamation mark (!) warning icon. If I click on it it shows "drivers have never been insta...

To make sure it does not depend on the PC, I have tried to install the application on another PC. At some point, the installation SW says: "Please make sure your USB-TTL Converter cable is NOT plugged in before continuing ...". Then at the next step is says: "Please connect your USB-T...

Hi everybody, I had to stop using RA for quite a while as I had to move to a new house. So I had been without my tank for a couple of years. Now I am ready to start again, but I have lost some confidence with the controller. I am trying to upload a new code as I have to set the LCD screen on a new c...

Hi everybody,

yesterday, all of a sudden, my temperature probe read 85 degrees Celsius (185°F)!!!
I disconnected it, cleaned it and reconnected. For a while it was reading correctly, then went back to 85.
Is it gone or is there something I can do to fix it? Thanks.

Thanks. Just one more question: the definition void CustomOverheatClear(byte probe) { if((bitRead(ReefAngel.AlertFlags, OverheatFlag)) && (ReefAngel.Params.Temp[probe] <= InternalMemory.OverheatTemp_read()-30)) ReefAngel.OverheatClear(); } goes within the global variables or in the setup() ?...

Hi, I would like to have an automatic clearing of the Overheat status, if the temperature has decreased of a given amount (e.g. 3 degrees). This would guarantee that the system is reset if conditions are OK, even if I am not able to connect to internet from remote. Can anyone check if this code woul...

Hi,

I admit I am really a beginner, so my question may sound very stupid to advanced users.
When I switch the controller on, it shows the 3 temperatures of the probes (I have only one) and the Ph value.
How do I switch to show the socket status (on/off)?
Thanks.

Hi,

starting the SW Reef Angel Arduino, it shows a warning message: "A new version of the Reef Angel Libraries is available. Your current version is 1.1.3 Newer version is 1.1.1 Would you like to update now?"
Is it a bug? Should I answer "No" ?
Many thanks.

Hi everybody,

is there a way to change the calibration points (buffer solutions) used for the pH sensors from 7.0 and 10.0 to 4.0 and 7.0?
Can these values be selected within the calibration mode?
Thank you.

Cheers,
Marco

Hi Roberto,

do you confirm that 15 single wires connecting pin to pin are required? The local webstore could provide only one VGA cable with pins 6, 7 and 8 (Standard RED_RTN, GREEN_RTN and BLUE_RTN) interconnected.
If 15 singles are required, they can make it ad hoc for me. Thanks.

Thank you Piper. You are right!
My fault.

In fact I am not connecting it as I have lost the cable. I had another svga cable at home, but when I have tried to use it, it has not matched on the power box side. That's really strange.

Thank you Roberto. I just have a doubt. As shown in the two attached pictures, the two female connectors (power box and head unit) are NOT identical. The disposition of the holes is specular. How does this reflect on the appropriate SVGA cable (male connectors)?
Thanks again.

Hi,

during the process of moving my tank, I have lost the communication cable. Probably it has been thrown away with old stuff. What are the characteristics of the cable so that I can replace it? Is it a standard cable? Can I find it at the electronics stores? Many thanks.

Hi,
I would like to activate the magnetic kalkwasser mixer at given intervals, say 20 sec every 3 hours.
How can I do it? Many thanks.
