Thank you, libraries updated and recompiling. Lot's of warnings/notes (I took it off verbose) but it did compile (used 2.3.). Build options changed, rebuilding all C:\Users\Loose\Documents\Arduino\Cloud_Wifi_Hub_Salinity\Cloud_Wifi_Hub_Sal\Cloud_Wifi_Hub_Sal\Cloud_Wifi_Hub_Sal.ino: In function 'unsi...

I get an error with 2.3 but it's different from the others. Sorry, I'm a beginner with this language and haven't been able to figure out how to fix this missing WiFiManager.h file error. I used the verbose option when I compiled. Arduino: 1.8.5 (Windows 10), Board: "Adafruit HUZZAH ESP8266, 80 ...

Open Boards Manager from Tools > Board menu and find esp8266 platform. Select the version you need from a drop-down box. Click install button. After it is installed, just to be sure, close Arduino and start it again to load everything it needs. Then, go to menu Tools->Boards and you will see a bunc...

Works. Thanks. What was it?

The board is a Cloud Wifi Expansion v 1.4. I'll take a picture later today if needed.

I haven't modified my code in a while but wanted to tweak it a bit. I loaded my currently working code, tried to compile it as is, and I get the following error: Compiling code for RA_STAR board Number of Relay Expansion Modules: 3 Relay Expansion Module 16 Channel Dimming Expansion Module Dimming S...

Nice! Could you please help me set it up? I generated the following code with the Wizard: #include <Wire.h> #include <SPI.h> #include <WiFi101.h> #include <PubSubClient.h> #include <RA_CustomSettings.h> #include <CloudGlobals.h> #include <OneWire.h> // ***********************************************...

Hi Riggeek,

What's the code for daily reboot.

My RA* occasionally locks up too; usually weeks apart but twice in the last couple of weeks (heaters stayed off and tank got to 68 degrees)

Mine will also reboot when I touch the touch screen especially when I change menus; not sure if related.

Hello Roberto, I know it's not possible to have two salinity probes with a single RA* but is it possible to directly program my Cloud Wifi Hub to directly read a salinity module/probe? Like many others, I'd like to use it at my remote mixing station which I'm trying to automate. When we were setting...

Ahhh... data throughput limit is with the cloud server and not with the module.

Header for two temp probes, two I/O ports, and can accept code independently of the RA*, this module looks better and better.

:lol: Yes, it absolutely is an awesome device!! First huh? That's kinda cool... Hey, if you want to test code in an operational setting, just let me know. For my setup, it makes it a clean(er) look with my family room show piece. If I could build a hobby-business around installing and maintaining re...

I did a modification for testing, to this, for the 6ch expansion I currently have: ReefAngel.PWM.Set16Channel(0, (now() % 10 < 5) ? 100 : 3); ReefAngel.PWM.Set16Channel(1, (now() % 10 < 5) ? 3 : 100); ReefAngel.PWM.Set16Channel(2, (now() % 10 < 5) ? 100 : 3); ReefAngel.PWM.Set16Channel(3, (now() % 1...

Roberto, up and working with lights hooked to 0x41 channel 0 alternating from dim (50%) to bright (100%) every second. Since I'm a novice at the language please allow me to confirm some things. This code alternates between a dimming setting of 50% and 100% each time through the loop: ReefAngel.PWM.S...

A note for someone else that is using this thread for their setup, when I reset the Cloud Wifi Hub, it didn't auto reconnect to the networks. I just did the factory reset procedures, as detailed in the Cloud Wifi Attachment Manual 2.0.1.

Added and uploaded.

Thanks Roberto. I got off work late yesterday. Will update the RA* with this code this evening. Question - I use the WebWizard's code page to upload code, is there another way I could/should be using? I do have the Reef Angel Arduino loaded on my computer, but the RA* isn't listed there on the drop-...

That's correct; 0-5V PWM for those drivers.

A few weeks, $89, and a PM. Got it.

Meanwell LDD-1000H and LDD-700H.

Yes, please. I would love to do this.

I was also serious when I asked if you had any 16ch modules left? Some of the things I'm thinking of doing with my lights, I'm thinking, would be easier with a single 16ch module as opposed to two 6ch modules.

Dude, no hurry. I understand the night time feedings; got five kids and did most of them late nighters... wonderful time as I remember it.

With 0x41 attached to the RA* and the below code: // 16 channelPWM testing ReefAngel.PWM.Set16ChannelRaw(0,369); ReefAngel.PWM.Set16ChannelRaw(1,1107); ReefAngel.PWM.Set16ChannelRaw(2,1845); ReefAngel.PWM.Set16ChannelRaw(3,2583); I get the following: ch 0 - 0.43v ch 1 - 1.33v ch 2 - 2.24v ch 3 - 3.1...

Yep, LOL,I figured you were going to ask me that... The RA* is in one room and the module is screwed to the mounting board in another... with the 72" heat sink and lights.

I'll un-mount the module and use my multi-meter to check for voltage.

Is there something that would keep a 6 ch Dimming module from working with a Cloud Wifi Hub expansion? I inserted the jumper on JP1 and added the code to my INO. void setup(): ReefAngel.Add16ChPWM(); and used the following as a test. void loop(): ReefAngel.PWM.Set16Channel(0,9); ReefAngel.PWM.Set16C...

Got it. With jumper on, 2nd module is addressable as a 16ch, that makes it easy.

Thanks.

A couple of follow-up questions.

Can I designated one module to be channels 0-5 and the other 6-11 or is it determined automatically?
If determined automatically, would it ever switch?

Thank you Sir, Exactly what I needed. I have that printed out but this section threw me off: #ifdef PWMEXPANSION else if (Channel>=OVERRIDE_CHANNEL0 && Channel<=OVERRIDE_CHANNEL5) // Dimming Expansion channel 0-5 SetChannelOverride(Channel-OVERRIDE_CHANNEL0,Value); Still learning the languag...

Thanks Roberto.

Would you give me an example; if I wanted set channel #7 (#1 on the second Dimming Module) to 90%, what would that code look like?

I saw in this thread that I could use a second Dimming Expansion Module to control more than 6 channels of lighting. http://forum.reefangel.com/viewtopic.php?p=50059#p50059 I built my DIY RapidLEDs fixture to use 12 channels and have 2 dimming expansion modules. How do I access/control the ports on ...

I was having a similar problem with my ATO pump. My ports would cycle, with some off and some on based upon their state when the RA* rebooted. I added the following code for my ATO pump port (it's on my Relay Expansion Box 1 on Port 4) in the 'void setup()' section and, unless something else I chang...
