I'd never thought about LDD. I'm moving in that direction with research now. So the older boxes that I have are PWM as well only up to 5V? Or are they possible analog? I'll probably end up needing to buy a couple more items (building my shopping list now). I have done "D" series drivers th...

Thanks Roberto! I think one of other ones might have it too, but I suppose I'd have to open it to find out. Two other hopefully quick questions: 1. If I have two PWM boxes, can I control 4 channels? Or am I only able to use the two on the primary box? 2. Do you know if PWM allow "deep dimming&q...

Well, you were right. I have 1 box with screws on the top cover and two with screws on the bottom. If I remember correctly, you sent me a booster for one of my early boxes. Are all of these boxes PWM? Or are they analog? I am trying to wrap my head around PWM vs analog dimming. What about the I/O ex...

Lee, thanks for the response. That worked!

So I have two RAs. The one I use for my main tank and the back up one that I bought originally. I am trying to setup the basic RA (RA Standard) to run a temporary nanocube. The problem I am finding is that NOTHING fits! I have downgraded to 1.0.9 libraries and 1.0.7 libraries... still too large. I a...

How do you downgrade to 1.0.9? I am trying to get my RA STD up and running for a temporary tank.

Roberto, I think all of my boxes look the same. I'm a reef angel legacy owner. I added the PWM later. PWM was pretty new at the time.

I know at least one of my 3 relay boxes has it. How do I tell which one without taking the system down to compare all 3?

I'm running the same firmware now on my own radions. I updated them to latest firmware, which indeed make them not work like you had stated before. So, I updated the firmware of the RF module and I've been running it since that day with no problems. I did bring them back to basic mode though. I'll ...

Roberto, some bad news. The code appeared to work, but after running it for a week or so, I am finding issues. 1. Vortech no longer synced: The Vortech no longer syncs. I thought it was all running fine until I noticed after being gone the last 5 days that the Vortech is running on one speed with a ...

Yup yup, should work well when I want to take pictures or show someone what something looks like under different lights. I'll probably use the blues if I want to keep the tank on longer late at night for guests. Who doesn't love the neon blue effect?

Concur, this thing works AWESOME!

I setup a "dummy" relay box where I can enable 10k, 14k, 20k, all blue, moonlights only, etc. Working on programming the moonlights tonight.

If you didn't get it to work, Roberto just released a firmware update that fixed my issue (and maybe yours too)

WORKS! Thanks Roberto! I'll update the first post with solution. I think there were 1-2 other threads where people had the same issue.

I didn't even have to reset my Radions to basic mode. It took over the programmed lighting.

Thanks for working on this Roberto. I'll try it out and let you know!

The best part about the RA is that it allows you to automated as much as you like. People are coming up with new ideas daily. I've already been a firm believer that the less you mess with your tank (other than water changes and glass cleaning), the more stable it is. The RA allows me to keep my tank...

Better last than never. Updating my code. I cannot get Radions to work at this time. It's a known issue with the latest firmware on Radions. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I just coded an auto water change where I replace ~5 gallons automatically once setup. Also updated my entire ...

Anyone able to get this to work with current Radions? It sounds like it worked once upon a time with old old Radion firmware and there isn't a way to go back.

Maybe I'll try to update the RF module. I'm not sure what else to do at this point. I took the lights off and put the RF module nearby, still nothing. My radions are updated on firmware, so I'm not sure if that's a problem or not. So, I had the same problem has you. And since ecosmart does a pretty...

I was troubleshooting the bus lock up issue and Roberto suggested that the firmware upgrade would be necessary. In that case the firmware upgrade appeared to have worked. On the libusb0 issue, I went to dll-files.com and downloaded the 32 bit version. I placed it in the directory where I had unzipp...

Maybe I'll try to update the RF module. I'm not sure what else to do at this point. I took the lights off and put the RF module nearby, still nothing. My radions are updated on firmware, so I'm not sure if that's a problem or not.

I just went through the same thing and found a copy of libusb0 on line. Of course all the standard caveats when getting something on line. I'd suggest you wait until Roberto confirms that an update may help before taking that chance. Do you use radions? Had a similar issue with getting them to resp...

Troubleshooting continues... So after you do a factory reset, does it pick up the RA's RF module signal right away? Or does it go to 10k/14k/whatever and you have to press something? I'm 99% sure I am in basic mode as I can change modes from 6.5k-20k, but still not seeing what the RA RF is sending. ...

So, I think that worked. But still not able to get the radions to change based on what I do to the RA.

Anything else you can think of that you had to do to make the radions work Roberto? I've messaged a bunch of people and haven't found anyone else able to get this to work

What code can I add to use the variables that I can control in the portal for intensity for the different channels? I think instead of this: ReefAngel.RF.UseMemory = false; ReefAngel.RF.SetChannel( Radion_Green, 100 ); ReefAngel.RF.SetChannel( Radion_Intensity, 50 ); I could use: ReefAngel.RF.UseMem...

I can try to start from scratch. Maybe reset my RA and try to get the radions working before the vortech. Is there a good basic code we know works for radions?

Anyone else have any ideas? I don't want to give up on this thing.

It does not. The only indication I have that we're in feeding mode is the light pattern on the Vortech. My normal pumps that turn off during feeding mode did not respond. I don't think the RA knows we're in feeding mode.

Yes, that worked no problem.
