Reef Angel Forum

Thanks Roberto, I missed that thread entirely. The Webwizard worked like a charm, and appears to also work around the admin libraries issue I mentioned in viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1793 . The heater port appears to be responding correctly to the water temperature probe now. ReefAngel rocks! Thanks so ...

...replacing line ReefAngel.StandardHeater( Port6 ); with ReefAngel.StandardHeater3( Port6 ); gives me a "no matching function for call to 'ReefAngelClass::StandardHeater3(int)' " error when I try to compile. Did I misunderstand the change that needed to be made? I'm using libraries v1.1.3...

Hi-- I have three temperature probes in use with an RA+: T1_PROBE = lights temperature (probe thermally cemented to LED heatsink) T2_PROBE = room temperature T3_PROBE = water temperature I have always had my heater relay (port 6, in this case) tied to T3_PROBE, but recently the relay apparently star...

Hi Roberto-- thanks for the note. I had tried multiple reinstalls of the RA software, including with renamed 'libraries' directories, but was mystified that the Installer was not including any of the latest library files in the new installation. It turns out that the RA installer was installing ever...

...as my fish begin another day of lurking in the dark, it occurs to me that it would have been really useful to have a means of 'rolling back' updates to the library, especially when those updates can substantially change (or break) the functionality of existing sketches.

Hi Roberto et al., last night I tried to change a couple of parameters in my working reefangel code, and found that, not only was I unable to upload my updated sketch, but that in the process of trying I managed to hose my reefangel. I need some help, quickly.. In short, I got an error message on my...

do you recalibrate afterwards?

It depends on how accurate and whether or not you maintain it.
Are you getting wrong values?

I've been wondering about this. How do we maintain a pH probe, and how often do we need to do it?

Awesome, thanks Roberto! I'll go pick up a pH-4 standard this afternoon and let you know how it goes.

Hi-- I'm using a ReefAngel to control a planted freshwater aquarium, including using the RA pH probe to control my CO2 injection system. In contrast to most reef setups, with a freshwater aquarium you are typically shooting for water that is slightly acidic, say in the 6.5-7.0 range. In the pH calib...

I had made a comment on flashing LEDs in viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1204 that might be relevant. In short, you may see flashing if the minimum voltage of your driver is greater than the maximum total voltage drop across one of your LED strings. For example, CREE XM-L's have a maximum voltage drop acro...

there's a terse description of a 1-wire based flowmeter at http://www.jjoseph.org/misc_projects/1_wire_sensors and http://www.jjoseph.org/water_cooling/current_water_cooler. uses a DS2423 to track motion of a paddle wheel. Could something like that be used with the 1-wire bus on the reef angel and u...

I saw this happen once as a result of a voltage mismatch between the LED driver and the LED string. In my case, I was trying to drive a string of 4 CREE XM-L LEDs in series using a Meanwell ELN60-27p, all also from RapidLED. The 60-27 is a constant-current driver with a working voltage range from 13...

wait, I'm confused... I had been assuming that all the ports were identical, and we could mix/match and reassign them as needed.

is there something physically different about ports 5 and 6 from the rest of the ports?

Works perfectly. Thanks Roberto!

erm, I must have missed something. which 'above'? did a post get omitted from the discussion?

at any rate, I'm still not sure what the problem is.

--many thanks...

Hi Folks-- I've been integrating my reef angel into my planted freshwater aquarium setup, and trying to customize the RAGen-generated code to deal with some specifics of my situation. It turns out that I'm not much of a coder, and the whole process has been a little overwhelming. That said, there's ...
