Can I use RA+ without wifi attachment?
Posted: Thu Mar 16, 2017 11:14 am
Hello everyone,
I recently purchased used RA+ from a friend of mine and I have been playing with it for a couple hours yesterday night. It is very exciting and fun project but it's kind of confusing. I even crashed WIFI firmware while I was trying to update firmware. It is a bit more complex then APEX but I enjoy programming and putting things together.
When I was playing with controller, I found that i can only do so many thing with controller LCD. On my screen, I can only do feeding, water cahnge, ATO clear, Overheat Clear, Ph Calibration, Date/Time, Version and Exit.
Is there a way to turn on and off relay switches manually? I do have wifi attachment but I would like to control them locally time to time.
My RA+ is about 3 years old. Should I update firmware on all my equipment? Is there an instruction on how to update fw on main board and other equipment? So far, I only see firmware update option on WIFI attachment.
Since I can't use WIFI utility to update firmware, is there away to manually download it and load it to my device?
I have so many questions in my mind but I will start out with these for now.
Thank you guys!
