Are you still looking for the RA* head unit?

Old thread but wanted to check to see if tank-stats.com is still working? I was using this for port forwarding but all of a sudden it didn't work for the last day. After a few tests, I changed the domain to something else and it worked. That's why I'm asking of tank-stats.com is still up. If you've...

Sorry for the delayed response, I do not get on the forum much anymore. The issue is most likely related to old versions of the libraries. There has been some pretty major changes to the libraries over the years and if you had the original Arduino RA app installed, that would install an older versio...

you can also look at the libraries and specifically look at the metalhalide function(s). they implement a delay before turning on to limit the power draw at startup. something like that can be implemented, only you will have to use the function call for the ato low switch.

almost anything is possible.
are you just using the ato low switch? like once it gets triggered you want a delay of x seconds before the outlet turns on. then you want it to run until when? until it is not triggered?

Having a similar issue. Internal on wifi i can get my parameters but on the website it keeps on saying that connection status: unreachable address. How do i fix it please? please create a separate topic for your issue. your issue sounds like a port forwarding issue. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapat...

Please post your code.

Here's the link to the thread.

check out the Custom Menu Generator thread. it's under the Software section and then Apps and the topic is Sticky. I can't link to it from my phone. You would have to create your own menu but can do it.
let me know if you need more help.

I did follow your guide but not 100% sure where I went wrong. I think it started to go wrong at the step "Goto Tools -> CB Reef Angel Process Sketch to run the features and labels generation." I now think this needs to be run before running Sketch > upload ? correct. you just run it befor...

I have another post that handles this topic specifically. https://forum.reefangel.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6978 This eliminates the need to do what you did. It does it all for you (although you do need to choose the menu entry to run it). This is exactly what I do now. I can keep Arduino updated ...

awesome!
glad to hear that everything appears to be going good.

looks ok. your changing of the time looks good and it appears that you just copied my code (which is expected).

Alright, I've been able to do some testing and I think I have something for you. Mind you, I have tested this on a Plus but I do not have it connected to a salinity probe. I've just got it on my desk. In this code, what we have going on is this: at the specified time (24 hour time format), launch Sa...

just fyi, I haven't forgotten about this topic. I've been thinking about it and looking into the libraries at how it can work. I think I know how to do it but need to get some test code written.

it's just simply c++. there's really no programming required if you use the webwizard.

I follow with what you are wanting to do. I will have to take a look at the libraries more closely and see what all can be done.
do you have a Star or Plus controller?

Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

so to make sure I follow, you want the calibration to start and let that calibrate for 30 minutes?

Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Kind of a weird request but any way we can have the controller automatically calibrate the salinity probe at a given time? Thanks. well, you could easily trigger the calibration screen but it would still require your interaction. I think it would require some thought to do an auto calibration witho...

That's interesting about the head unit rebooting a minute later after you issue a command.
Can you post your code?
Maybe Roberto has some suggestions or ideas too.

To use the serial monitor, you need to connect the cable to your computer and the RA (like you would upload the code). Then, inside Arduino, goto the Tools -> Serial Monitor. That will open a new window. Make sure your baud rate is set to 57600 (I believe that is the baud rate for the the controller...

your packet capture is showing a 0 byte payload as well. what version of libraries are you using? have you tried to upload code to the controller again? have you tried to connect the controller directly to arduino and run the console/logger and issue commands directly to the controller and look at t...

Looking at your code, you are not initializing SetTime and RiseTime before you try to use them. You have: long SetTime; long RiseTime; Then, the next statement you are trying to use those variables in an IF statement. The values stored in them are "undefined" or whatever else the system de...

I have 5 ai hydra 26 HDs and 1 ai prime hd. all have to be controlled via their app. not a huge fan of that but their interface is simple and easy (IMO). plus, once configured, i don't have to mess with it.

you can try to sell it as a whole, but might have some issues. you may have better luck selling pieces. so, maybe list them all together and say XX for it all or so much for this and that. heck, you may not have much luck selling it either... just really depends. anyways, best of luck trying to sell...

I am very confused..... Let me ship you another board and we go from there. PM me your shipping address. Seems good this morning. I went to wake up the screen barely touched it, was unresponsive again.. nd rebooted twice... I'm loosing a bit of faith..... I had my star be randomly unresponsive like...

Have you chosen to "Download labels from portal" from the uapp?

As for the star, the labels are set via the code and not retrieved from the portal.

Hey Curt....so you posted this a year ago, and here I am having the same exact issue after installing the code manually (with your valuable assistance). What was your fix for this? I'm working in the portal trying to make label name changes and when I click Save, the controller comes up and says &q...
