Actually, there's a super secret setting that we have hidden and is only available when you stand on your head and read the forum. ;)

along these same lines we should have one that is small enough to fit full size on a phone screen or as a windows 7 gadget! That would be great. I can send you some ideas Roberto! Right now when I pull it up on my phone I have to zoom in to see it correctly and scroll across to view the whole thing. Something designed for a portrait view is what I am thinking.

Sent. Draft mobile banner:

I think I need a new idea for on/off indicators. This one is kind of boring. I did the "toggle" style on the black colored banner and those were easy to read in a glance, but it might be a little big here. Thoughts?

On that note, there should probably be a dedicated page on the site or forum that shows all the current banner possibilities and their respective links. Unless that already exists somewhere and I missed it?

Look at the first post of this topic. I keep updating it as the banners are posted here. The last couple that have been posted are just images and not the actual sources yet. So once they are posted, then I'll update the first post with the examples. :)

Oh, um right - the first post, exactly where they belong :oops:

Here's a few more for you that I saved awhile ago and still work.

With all the snazzy banners we've got built or in development, I think we need to retackle the graphs. I think we can make them easier to read and therefore more useful. Maybe we can also make them adjustable for PST :o

Let me know what you need and I am on board for helping out!

Well, as you noticed, my graphic ideas are not the most atractive... :lol:
Just send me a new design and I'll be happy to get it going.

nice! thanks roberto!! I'll get working on the graphs. Any kind of format to use? I honestly don't know how the graphs or even the banner is populated... it's almost magic to me :lol:

Any way to make the banner show LED percentage?

awesome stuff! The new banners, plus working with Dave to test out the new client, plus LEDs today! And I made a webpage that maximized this banner and when I view it on my phone, it's PERFECT! Awesome stuff! I love my RA and this community!

Image

I am loving the LEDs and controller with my RA! Can we add the percentages to the web banner? Is that possible? That's be cool to see I think.

Two questions, and I may be missing something obvious...
First, is there a way to change the web banner in the Client software, in mine it always has version 2, and I can't see where to change that...

Second, how do I get the banner to show up in my signature in message boards, like on ReefCentral? I past the link in, but it just gives the link, not the banner...
Thanks
Rob

You can't change the URL link inside the Client Suite for the web banner. You don't have to always use style 2. All you have to do is change style2 to one of the other styles inside your web browser. If you like style 6, then use the link below.
Second, how do I get the banner to show up in my signature in message boards, like on ReefCentral? I past the link in, but it just gives the link, not the banner...
To use the banner as a signature, you will want to make sure you use it as source for the image. So however you paste images/link images in RC is how you would do it. On here, you will do something like this:

Code: Select all

[img]http://www.reefangel.com/status/image_style6.aspx?id=rimai[/img]
And that will use the banner as the source for the image.

just pick an ID you think that is unique to you and hope someone isn't already using it. You can test it out by browsing to one of the links provided and swapping out the "rimia" part out at the end of the url with the id you would like to use. If it's not being used, you will see a blank banner, otherwise you'll see the temp/relay values of the user who is currently using that part:

http://www.reefangel.com/status/image_s ... d=[b]rimai[/b] << swap out the bold rimai part then copy/paste into a web browser and see what comes up.

Man I feel stupid right now :cry:

How do I associate tkeracer619 with my data. Is this something I have to program into the controller?

tkeracer619 isn't being used. I want to use it. Now what?

Several people use the Client software, but some also use code in the PDE file.
The code in the PDE requires wifi attachment.
Which one would you prefer using?

Wifi.

When I set it up I clicked the box that says monitoring or whatnot.

Also when I setup wifi I selected the reefangel website (one of the two stock options) when using the graphical wifi utility


OK so I found this via google and see whats required. I was thinking the wifi module would do the updating to the banner for me. Didn't realize I needed a pc to do this for me. Have a couple servers with battery backup so I will toss it on one of those.

Wifi can send webbanner data too :)

Here is what you need:
Place this above the setup() function:

Code: Select all

// Labels for the web banner
#include <avr/pgmspace.h>
prog_char id_label[] PROGMEM = "tkeracer619";
prog_char probe1_label[] PROGMEM = "Temp1";
prog_char probe2_label[] PROGMEM = "Temp2";
prog_char probe3_label[] PROGMEM = "Temp3";
prog_char relay1_label[] PROGMEM = "Relay1";
prog_char relay2_label[] PROGMEM = "Relay2";
prog_char relay3_label[] PROGMEM = "Relay3";
prog_char relay4_label[] PROGMEM = "Relay4";
prog_char relay5_label[] PROGMEM = "Relay5";
prog_char relay6_label[] PROGMEM = "Relay6";
prog_char relay7_label[] PROGMEM = "Relay7";
prog_char relay8_label[] PROGMEM = "Relay8";

PROGMEM const char *webbanner_items[] = {
id_label, probe1_label, probe2_label, probe3_label, relay1_label, relay2_label,
relay3_label, relay4_label, relay5_label, relay6_label, relay7_label, relay8_label};
Make sure to change the labels to whatever you have in your setup. Also, don't use spaces.

Then place this inside the setup():

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.LoadWebBanner(pgm_read_word(&(webbanner_items[0])), SIZE(webbanner_items));
ReefAngel.Timer[4].SetInterval(180); // set interval to 180 seconds
ReefAngel.Timer[4].Start();
And this in the loop():

Code: Select all

if(ReefAngel.Timer[4].IsTriggered())
{
ReefAngel.Timer[4].Start();
ReefAngel.WebBanner();
}
