I confirmed it is a problem with the screen by swapping the gen 4 (sorry for saying gen 7 in my OP: it has "7.1" printed on the board above the screen) with a gen 1 screen from my RA (which is controlling another tank). That screen works perfectly on the RA+. So I guess I somehow got a fau...

In the last week, my LCD screen (gen 7) keeps losing all or part of the information it normally displays. If I restart the controller, the screen looks as it should. But after 15-60 mins the screen stops working properly. It is still backlit, but sometimes it only displays the bottom half of the scr...

Thanks rimai! It works now. I just needed to change the menu labels and initialization sections to: //Custom Menu Code const unsigned char menu1_label[] PROGMEM = "Feed for 5 Mins"; const unsigned char menu2_label[] PROGMEM = "Start AWC"; const unsigned char menu3_label[] PROGMEM...

New problem: the custom menu shows a jumbled overlapping combination of all menu options on one line of the RA+ screen. I would upload an image to illustrate the point, but for some reason every time I try it just erases whatever I type here... I tried reviewing the RA Custom Menus guide made by bin...

Ahh, thanks for the update.

I saw a lot of references to the web wizard, but I've been out of the loop for over a year... I'll have to give the web wizard a try.

Thanks again for your help!

Best,
Gabe

I'm running the same versions of mac OS and Arduino. Using the updated code you sent back (thank you so much for your efforts on that!) and the 2e3f279 libraries (newest from dev branch), it compiles after running your reef angel processing tool. Thank you so much for your help, binder! A suggestion...

Ok, I confirmed the problem isn't that two Ethernet libraries were found by removing one. The problem is that wiring.h does not exist in either the Reef Angel libraries or the libraries that came with my installation of Arduino (1.8.13). I did find the following in EthernetDHCP.cpp: extern "C&q...

Thank you for the direction, binder! I read your post and added the boards and feature generation plugin per your instructions. That seems to have worked. But now I get the following error message when I try to compile: Users/Gabe/Documents/Arduino/libraries/EthernetUtils/EthernetBonjour.cpp:31:13: ...

I'm trying to get a fairly simple PDE uploaded to a RA+ board. I recently upgraded to a 2020 macbook pro, downloaded the newest libraries and the newest version of arduino. But now I get all kinds of errors when I try to verify my code. What's going on here? PDE: #include <ReefAngel_Features.h> #inc...

Ok, I got my RA app working again. I used it to set the proper time. I still can't do it from the custom menu on the RA though...

Sorry for such a late reply! I see my original error now. Probably a stupid copy paste error. I tried your solution. I got an error saying I needed a semicolon after the "ReefAngel.DisplayedMenu = ALT_SCREEN_MODE" line. I added one. Then I uploaded the modified code and it did exactly what...

I have a custom menu set up, but I can't figure out how to give myself the option to set the date/time from the custom menu. Here's what I have so far: //Custom Menu Code prog_char menu0_label[] PROGMEM = "Manual Feed"; prog_char menu1_label[] PROGMEM = "Start AWC"; prog_char men...

I do exactly what you do, but with float switches. ~0.66% water change automatically every evening. Not much, but enough to amount to about a single 15% water change per month. And no buckets lifted. EVER.

Ok, I finally got it working. I booted into windows on my macbook pro and tried uploading to my RA+ from there. It worked when I tried uploading an example code, but then had the same error as before when I tried uploading my code. After that, when I tried uploading the example code again, it wouldn...

I don't have a PC... maybe I can borrow a friends... Has anyone else had problems with their Mac? It seems strange because it never had a problem before.

So I took my RA+ board to Roberto. He was able to upload multiple different .ino files to it with no problem. I picked up a USB power cable from him and tried again with my computer at home: same problem, no matter what code I used. I tried again from my girlfriend's computer: same problem. I cannot...

I'm back from Texas now, and my tank has survived so far. What should I do about my faulty RA+ roberto? Should I send it to you? Will you send me a replacement? How does this work? If necessary I could drive down to Fremont to speak with you in person. Thanks, Gabe Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A usin...

Yes. I tried reloading the standard code, as well as some example codes. It is not an issue with the code. It is an issue with the head unit. Currently I have my old RA standard running the bare essentials. Hopefully that will be enough for the next 5 days while I am out of town. Unless there is som...

I'm supposed to get on a plane to go to my girlfriend's brother's wedding tomorrow morning. So I go to upload some updated code on my RA+ and I get this message: The following features were automatically added: Watchdog Timer Version Menu The following features were detected: Dimming Signal Date/Tim...

I think I must be confused as to how the WiFiAlert class works... I have an automatic water change system that works wonderfully. I'm going out of town for 10 days and I want to make sure I am notified immediately if my daily AWC fails. I have all kinds of failsafes that will shut down the AWC and f...

As usual, you are right Roberto; I'm just an idiot and couldn't figure out how to change the number until now... It all works splendidly! Thanks for helping me and being patient!

Best,
Gabe

Sorry for the late reply! Removing the line you suggested, Roberto, allows me to access the regular pH calibration menu. It doesn't give me access to any pH calibration options except 7 and 10. Any ideas on how I can get the option to use 4 and 7 without changing the values in the library?

Sorry, I must have been unclear. When I use the joy stick to click the "Calibrate pH" option on my custom menu, nothing happens. There are no numbers for me to click... I'm trying to figure out how to even have the option to calibrate my pH probe.

Hello wise masters of the RA Libraries, I can't seem to figure out how to use the flexible pH calibration in my custom menu. I click the option in my menu and the screen just flashes and nothing happens. I want to be able to calibrate it for monitoring my calcium reactor and for occasionally testing...

Thanks Roberto and Colin! I'm not sure how I missed that I needed to initialize my custom menu... But that fixed all the issues. BTW, in case you didn't know already and just so that other users might find this info when they search the forum later, custom menus do not display properly if you make t...

Hi everyone, I think I have my code pretty much written. I uploaded it to my RA+ and everything seems to work except for two little problems. First, after every reboot of the RA+, the screen is just white until I push on the joystick. Then it looks the way it should. Second, my custom menus don't sh...

I just downloaded the new libraries and now my code compiles using ReefAngel.isATOTimeOut(). I'm off to see if it works the way I want it to. Thanks for helping me!

Hmm, ReefAngel.isATOTimeOut() doesn't work for me. I must not have the latest development libraries or something... I must not know how to download them, cause I just downloaded what I thought were the latest libraries like 2 weeks ago. Unless this has been added since then... Oh well, I guess I can...

Sorry for the late reply everyone!

So ReefAngel.isATOTimeOut() will return a 1 if the ATO time out flag has been triggered and a 0 otherwise?

Awesome, thanks binder! One more question: How can I use the status of the ATO timeout flag as an input to another function? I had hoped that the answer to this question would be obvious to me after the first question was answered, but it is not... I want to do something analogous to the following u...
