Hope all are doing well on RA! Miss you all. I have a new born and once he is a bit older he and I will enjoy the RA and a new salt tank! Like my sig says....out for now but not over!

Keep up the great dev and hope to see great new things in the future!

This was a thread based on DIY tinkering...not based on saving money or reducing RA sales.

Nope...never got the last bit going. Ended up going with the Ethernet option.

Good to see you're still at it smooth. Enjoy that RA!

Hmmmmm. I'll check it out. Thanks.

I'm Ethernet module here. What did the update do?

It's probably been said...but if meanwells go with analog and "D" drivers. Soooooooo much better than the "P" drivers...trust me...learned the hard way

The LDD can be awesome with a guide on RC about how to do it. You can get those LEDs dimmed all the way to 0. Which is awesome.

Just to add to the confusion. Upgraded from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.1.3 and I experience 50% less crashes (approx) than before. Now that's just odd...

Not exactly a crash in sim but the error message did pop up over and over until I had to close the sim.

The MOST confusing part for me is: other users reported issues...all the meanwhile...nothing wrong on my side for a year or so...then randomly....crash, crash, crash

I've tried network swapping. Wifi/ethernet(simulator)/3G....I can't begin to put a % on my crashes...it's that random for me no matter the connection type

Totally random crashing on my end. Only applies to the relay control screen. The iPad app is written a little differently than the iPhone.

Trust me...I'm confused because I was the one who assumed it was other's configs when in-fact the odd app behavior is happening to me.

Yep down grade libs, reduce sketch size or upgrade to RA+ are the options.

It's overdrive limit protection is all. Put it this way...if it wasn't shutting off...you'd have a burnt out/dead driver.

Type of meanwells? If D or P did you adjust the dial for forward voltage?

It is definitely app specific. I've never lost data to the RA server. So it's not the Ethernet module... I've had a consistent data pool throughout.

I've tried resets and my WAN IP and dyndns and after a couple days of testing it would consistently crash...now today...working perfectly. Lol sooooooo weird!!!!

Not me. Same spastic result? Must be XML related because I get the error message about 4 or 5 times before it crashes. I think it's trying to read the additional/new XMLs.

If I'm persistent I can get them to load but about only 20% of the time. However when I override a relay (crash!)

So it's hard to know what is going on...

Yes...just encountered the issue. I'm thinking XML tags. I wish I had a dev account hope the others come up with a release ASAP.

I'm going to guess its the app's interpretation of the XMLs. It's probably maxed out. So just a heads up for everyone...odds are iPhone app is officially outdated.

Anything change server side Roberto? Like the XML or? After a YEAR of pain free iPhone app...I'm cursed with "could not download" on the original app. The specs screen (initial loaded) is 100% good with the initial load of the app but the relay page fails and then crashes the app. I'm stum...

Double check WAN IP and port under "settings" at the bottom

He has a spastic water level expansion when the Ethernet option is plugged in. This option is pretty universal with any Ethernet shield combo.

I had to remove my LCD date/time from my screen to get it to fit. Looks like time to downgrade.

I updated too and my exact same sketch (unmodified) went to "sketch too large" without any changes.

Learning curve. It'll pay off. Trust me

What's the price tag on one?

This completely eliminates the LAST consistently annoying consistent flow in our tanks. The ocean is never consistent...our tanks are now that much closer to their natural habitats. Horray! Now I need one!
