Reef Angel Forum

Thanks!

I'm using T5s over my softie tank. It is a 6 bulb ATI, but I never want to run more than 4 lights at a time. I have the light set up with 4 bulbs as daylight, and 2 bulbs as actinic (separately switched). What I want is a schedule like this: 10am-12pm: 2 bulb actinic only 12pm-8pm: 4 bulb daylight o...

Ecotech's site says the Pro is still 6 channels even though it has 8 different color LEDs, but I only have a gen1 right now so I'm not 100% sure.

How about the radion pro? (with the RF of course)

I wouldn't consider this final code. I'd like to clean it up and test it a little more, but it seems to be working fine. If you have wifi, search for ping_Serial and uncomment it out. I don't have my wifi set up yet. That's next on the list. #include <ReefAngel_Features.h> #include <Globals.h> #incl...

Thanks for all your help getting started. I got the custom menu added, lots of constant arrays into the PROGMEM, added 3 more dosing pumps that dose by a daily amount and a pump rate, both those variables into internal memory for all 3 pumps, and a configurable variable editor into the menu. Whew. :)

I have the RA+. So then there is much more memory space with PROGMEM, but the stuff needs to stay constant. Perfect for what I need. I learned about the watchdog the hard way. :) I'm still confused about pingSerial. I am inside a loop waiting for joystick input, where I had to add the wdt_reset. I d...

I have a few questions: What is PROGMEM when declaring variables? When should I be using it? How much internal memory do I have, and what addresses are safe to use? what is wdt_reset? Do I need this in my menu input loops? Do I need to call pingSerial in my menu input loops? Is there anything else I...

So I got a custom int in InternalMemory set up, and created a custom menu that can edit it. Woohoo. The next step is to write something to pick which variable I'm editing. Thanks for all the help. I'm statrting to get a good feel for things.

It seems like it is just autodetecting the number of menu entries in my INO and changing the ReefAngelFeatures.h to match, even if they're inside disabled #ifdef's. Easy enough to work around that.

So I got the sample custom menu put in. No problem. But now I can't get it out. I put the menu code in a #ifdef to disable it. Then I deleted the 2 lines in ReefAngelFeatures but when I go to upload it changes them back automatically and then tells me it can't find my menu functions. Any ideas? I'd ...

The Reef Angel officially earned its cabinet space, as I pulled out the tunze 7095 controller.

I have a pair of Tunze Stream 6105's. I will likely do something more complex later, but this is what I put together for now. I found rimai's tunze pulsing functions but I wanted a little more, so I wrote a quick sine wave function to control them. Basically it does this: http://farm9.staticflickr.c...

Thanks, that looks very helpful. I got a little distracted by my tunzes, but this is next on the list.

Thanks. Looks like the next step for me is to figure out how to replace the menu.

I have the wifi (but haven't played with it yet), but would really like everything to also be controllable with the joystick too unless it is an absolute nightmare. I was peeking around the code and found ReefAngelClass::SetupOption, which I think edits a parameter when called from a menu event. I'm...

So I can't set up menus to control it with the joystick?

I'm (finally) getting going with my Reef Angel. I'm mostly playing around and learning right now. Step 1 was to get my kalk dosing pump running. Using the wizard I got this all worked out with the "in the code" memory setting. No problem. So now I wanted to try "in the internal memory...

Thanks! Going to purchase the basics today and look forward to expanding it in the near future!

And 2 cables, 1 for each Tunze? Have I got everything I need with the RA+ analog and the 2 cables? All I care about at the moment (I'll get more complicated later) is ATO (I have a BRS 50mL/min pump already) and controlling the 2 tunzes. Just trying to sort out the bare minimum I need to order right...

I've decided to pick up the RA+. In addition to the standard features, I want to control 2 tunze pumps (independently). So, I think I need 2 tunze cables and the analog RA+. Correct?
