How to code second ph probe

[carlii]

Ok, So I got my second ph probe in today and installed it. Sooooo. It is not showing up on the portal as installed. How can I tets teh installation. I don't see a custom main screen in teh example codes as teh manual suggests. I tried downloadin the new Windows installer to no avail.

I want my system setup so that it displays the ph probe from the tank(ph probe 2) as the main ph probe, and the Calc reactor(probe 1) as a CO2 controller. This is because I don't have enough cable to run from teh tank to the RA controller.

So my questions are 3:

1. Can I switch the ph probe that is shown on the web banner to reflect the second probe? Or better yet, both probes?

2. How do I create a custom screen on my RA that shows both ph probes?

3. Is there anything special about that ph probe coaxial cable in case I just have to extend it to swap them?

Thanks in advance.

1. No, we need to design new banners to accomodate the new expansion modules.
None of the modules show up on banners yet. It will eventually. I just need to adjust the design of all banners.
2. The new example code will be included in the next release of libraries. I'm just waiting for a couple things to get finalized to be able to release them. should be out by the end of the week.
If you want to use a pre-release, pm me and I'll send them to you.
3. There is nothing special. You can use your own or get one from the webstore.

Ok thanks.

Now the question I forgot to ask. How do I address the second probe in my code so that I can use it for my calc reactor?

Try this:

Code: Select all

    if (ReefAngel.Params.PHExp <= 670) Relay.Off(Port1);
    if (ReefAngel.Params.PHExp >= 690) Relay.On(Port1);

I get the following error unpon complile:

carl_angel_ai:99: error: 'struct ParamsStruct' has no member named 'PHExp'
carl_angel_ai error: 'struct ParamsStruct' has no member named 'PHExp'

Am I missing something from my feature file or define statement?

Like I said before, the new libraries are not out yet.
I can provide you with pre-release of them or you can just wait a couple more days for me to finalize the update.
