BUG - I can't set my time or enter sub menus

Post by aranax »

the time on my controller is off but every time I go into the setup menu it resets me back to the main screen. I can't access any level 3 / 4 menu without it resetting. Is there a fix for this? Thanks.

The next update of libraries that Curt is working on will fix this problem.
Hopefully we can see it soon ;)

Awesome. Thanks Roberto. BTW...did you get the parts back? I've been out on paternity leave and sent them through my works mailroom. They are NOTORIOUS for sitting on things until they get yelled at. Let me know. Thanks.

what version are you running now?

also what do you mean by level 3 / 4 menu? do you mean like going to setup then standard lights or something similar?

He's got early release of optiboot. I think v1.0
The reset is due to wdt kicking in that I mentioned to you when using the menu system when it does not come back to loop() for wdt_reset().

OH....ok. I'm following you now. I was confused at first but now it makes a little more sense.

Curt has released the new libraries, which includes a fix for this issue.
What needs to be done is inside the ReefAngel_Features.h file, you need to uncomment or add a line:
This is only to be used by users with optiboot.
For optiboot v4.0

Code: Select all

#define WDT
For optiboot v2.1 or lower

Code: Select all

#define WDT_FORCE
I know that your bootloader is version 2.1 or lower, so use the second.
