Wow thanks for the quick reply guys! I'll swap the drum and let you know if changing the switch did the trick! It seems there are 2 possible levels for the retaining ring. Any idea if lower or higher is better ? As for the code, since I'm using the Wizard and internal memory, it doesn't look like mu...

Hi, All has been working as expected since I setup my RA except for the ATO. Using 1 floatswitch, SingleATOLow, code generated by the wizard on port 6 I got what seemed to be logically working. Manually triggering by pushing on it confirmed all worked well and respected the time out (or so it seemed...

So I've managed to make the dimmer work with the standard PWM (Analog in this case) channels on the RA and as expected, analog doesn't dim to 0% but that's find. What bugs me however is the high pitch whine sound that seems to be heard only at low %, I don't recall hearing that before. In fact, oddl...

that's exactly it! awesome, thanks.

Seems like a fairly common feature that is well hidden Not that it is super useful but still fun

Random thought (and probably stupidly obvious) - I'm about to butcher my Marsaqua and realised I couldn't find any easy way to control (dim) my lights software wise (android app or portal). Have I missed something ? I used the Parabola setting in the Wizard, offseted the times for Daylight and actin...

Well... I've been out of the game for waaay too long and I'm getting lazy it seems :) I've generated my very simple code thanks to the wonderful Wizard for dummies (using the internal memory) and assume it will do exactly what it said it would. Now the only element for now that I'd like to add is us...

Got my SB ReefLights all modded up. I used a stereo headphone jack placed in one of the dimmer pot holes and made a wiring harness using a 4 pin circuit board connector so it's all just plug in with no cutting into the original wiring. Works great. My only gripe is that these drivers don't dim to o...

Thanks Lee I'm made it here lol. Yea if you're looking to take the guess work out of it http://www.facebook.com/sLinkcables if you want to look at some info on them. I'm currently running a sb on ch 0 and 1 on and a mars on the 2 and 3 channel on the expansion Hi Troy Wrote on your FB page. I am pl...

Well I know there was this being worked on: http://www.in-the-box.org/

but yeah not much of an option.

Lets just say I'm not too fond of Apple's products and ecosystem. I do love Android so.... I'm happy

Outstanding work as usual!

Can't wait to see that Widget

Just tested, solid 30 second power out and the time seems to be ok. Even weirder, I guess you were thinking of a dead cmos battery ?

Seperate topic altogether but the salinity probe appears to be totally dead. reads 60, all plugged in properly (tried plugging in and out everything multiple time).

That's what I thought. Really really odd. I haven't changed my code since I got the RA Optiboot board, everything had been working flawlessly. Let's hope it really was a one off.

Well that's a weird and scary one, I was sitting in my living room right now and just saw the light turning back on on my tank! No odd behavior except for the fact that I was way past light off time and they actually turned off as usual before suddently coming back on. Had a look at my date and time...

No visible corosion on mine but it's been reading a flat 6 ppt non stop for the past few days. Will try and reboot. Could it be defective ? Pulling the cable around didn't change anything to the reading.

I had a look at the probe and gave it a quick rinse in RO water and it still behaves erraticaly. My readings went as low as 32.1 and are now back at 34.1 while it should in theory read close to 35 - what it actually read initially. It might be related to my ATO interferring with the readings but the...

Interesting. I'll definitely check it out when I get home tonight. Could corrosion form as fast as 1 week of usage ? I just started using it a few days ago. Any specific ways to clean it? Edit: Still dropping, now reading 32 by the time I get home I'll have fresh water :lol: Hopefully the probe is t...

Weird one here. According to the salinity probe I'm now at 32.5 ppt, extremely low for my reef (stable at 35ppt). I find this extremly odd as I've remotely turned off the ATO port and it still seems to be going down which makes no sense at all. Even with the ATO (which has been working flawlessly fo...

Well it's working now hmmm so all I did was play with the cable. Looks like one of the pin was not properly pushed in.. as usual stupid user error ;) Salinity also up and running, very cool! Forgot my pH calibration settings though I should have written them somewhere, will have to buy the solutions...

That's an odd one. Replaced my RA mainboard, flashed the Init Memory file followed by my INO generated through the wizard (hardcoded values). Everything is working #1 except for the wifi module which always worked great before. It does connect to my network instantly, slow flashing green light, gets...

Very cool! I wonder if it could somehow make sense to developp a custom screen wizard, maybe an extra step to the existing wizard? Could start off with pre-made templates and eventually give some customization options? Then again, I wonder how many people actually use their RA screen for anything el...

Awesome stuff! Can't wait to try this out

Ha I didn't think about that at all! My salinity module is on its way hmmm. Would this do it ? : http://www.goreef.com/Neptune-Conductivity-Calibration-Solution-447-uS.html My only concern is that their 3-6 days shipping estimate mostly means Not in stock hmmmm edit: looking at local stores online I...

Nice!!! Got 1.04 running here, will have to generate new code to see if it fixes my screen issues. 2 observations: - On my PC (Win 7 64bits) the layout cuts out some critical piece of info when left on standard "medium" size. For example, I only see the top of the AT Timeout dropbox but I ...

Sebimme has identified the first bug of the Wizard: https://github.com/reefangel/Wizard/issues/2 hmmm I used the Wizard to generate my current code prior to its official announcement (found it by looking at the menu)... it must have been at least 3 weeks ago now? I did use always on for 3 ports and...

Awesome! And yes, +1 on swipe for multiple relays! that and a 'left most' swipe for memory options

Wow, that's some extremely intresting info there! I'm about to replace my 6 T5HO bulbs (roughly 200$) and never really considered LEDs because of the absurde pricing but this could be a viable option. I've got very little DIY knowledge but it seems like a simple enough process (no soldering involved...

that's pretty awesome, I was looking for something very similar to this. I'm leaving too early for work in the morning but would like to feed twice a day so this piece of code should come in handy soon enough. On that very topic, any recommendations on "auto feeders" that actually do work ...

Curt, I noticed you mention something about "interverting" the SingleATO code in the latest library, does that mean that the whole debate we had there: http://forum.reefangel.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=54&start=10 now goes the other way around ? I definitly want to keep everything up...

So in other words to enable SIMPLE_MENU we can generate our PDE with Ragen and simply add the

#define SIMPLE_MENU

to the PDE ?

Any plans for a new release of RAgen updated with new features ?

Thanks!

Excellent ! How many would you recommend for a 90g 4' long ?
