Re: Relay Expansion

This is now really strange. I tried a new SVGA cable, same thing. Swopped cables between the working one and the faulty one, same thing. I removed EVERYTHING and reseated everything .. problem seems have gone away! Holding thumbs it is now fixed :)

Re: Relay Expansion

I checked to make sure the cable is seated properly, which it is.

Is it a standard svga cable? I hav some spare cables from old svga monitotrs laying around. Can I us one of those to check if the cable itself is faulty?

Relay Expansion

Hey guys,

All of a sudden my second relay expansion is acting strange. One of the ports has stopped working and 2 of the other ones keep switching on and off every couple of minutes. Any suggestions on what to check?

Re: Dimmable Lunar Hub

Guys,

Is there any additional code for the moonhub needed over this?

ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 5, MoonPhase() );

My lights are constantly on .. They never seem to change strength? Would it make any difference if I'm using the first generation dimming module?

Re: Dimmable Lunar Hub

Thanks roberto ... another question. Is it possible to connect the lunar dimmer up to one of the pwm ports on a relay expansion? I'm already using both daylight and actnic on the main relay box for 2 jebao units. It'll be easier to connect the plug into daylight/actnic on my second relay box instead...

Temp probe

Hey guys,

I upgraded to the RA + unit today and now none of my temp sensors are showing any readings? At first 2 of them showed 25.5 and 1 showed 0. I rebooted the unit and now all them show 0? Is there a step I may have missed when doing the upgrade? Everything else works perfectly.
