Radion help

[rimai]

Yes. I do that

[lucho]

Do you want to share how

[lucho]

I thought that maybe you could change the value of the variable in the memory, that way you are still using the memory but can start different modes at different times. Is that it?

[rimai]

This is what I use:

Code: Select all

//ReefAngel.RF.SetChannel

    ReefAngel.RF.ChannelWhiteSlope();
    ReefAngel.RF.ChannelRoyalBlueSlope();
    ReefAngel.RF.ChannelRedSlope();
    ReefAngel.RF.ChannelGreenSlope();
    ReefAngel.RF.ChannelBlueSlope();
    ReefAngel.RF.ChannelIntensitySlope();

    if (hour()>=15 && hour()<=18)
    {
      ReefAngel.RF.UseMemory=false;
      ReefAngel.RF.SetMode(LongWave,100,3);
      ReefAngel.DCPump.UseMemory = false;
      ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(ShortWave,100,50 );
    }
    else if (hour()>=22 || hour()<=7)
    {
      ReefAngel.RF.UseMemory=false;
      ReefAngel.RF.SetMode(ReefCrest,40,0);
      ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Koralia1); 
      ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Koralia2); 
    }
    else
    {
      ReefAngel.DCPump.UseMemory = true;
      ReefAngel.RF.UseMemory=true;
    }

But I just found a bug...
You need to add this to your code generated by the wizard or the feature doesn't get enabled:

Code: Select all

//ReefAngel.RF.SetChannel

[lucho]

Thanks Roberto. That is very similar to the code I have for the pumps. I am not sure what happens with the Radions in the priods of time where you have "ReefAngel.RF.UseMemory=false"

When I added the line: ReefAngel.RF.SetChannel I get the following error when compiling "error: statement cannot resolve address of overloaded function"

I also notice that you have it as a comment with the "//" in your code.

[rimai]

Yes, leave it commented or you will get errors.

[lucho]

Thanks! I will test this tonight and come back if I have any issues

[alexwbush]

Lucho, did you get this to work? I'm having the same issues as you had. I reset my radions to basic mode and it's still not receiving from my RA

[alexwbush]

If you didn't get it to work, Roberto just released a firmware update that fixed my issue (and maybe yours too)

[lucho]

Thanks Alex. I cant make it work, though. I get this, and the RF light doesnt blink in the process (it does when I first connect it). Is there a way to check if this updated? Thanks!

It has not updated.
It should be just like uploading a code into your RA.
Make sure to disconnect the Ecotech RF radio.

[lucho]

hadnt taken it out before, i have now. however, i get the same message

Can it be that I am running windows 8? I had to add the libusb0 file

[rimai]

Are you sure you are using COM1?
You must update the file to use the correct com port.
Same one you use to upload codes to your RA.

[lucho]

Thanks Roberto, got it to work (reinstalled the reef angel installer and used another com). Got that working, but struggled tonight to make the Vortech sync (got them to sync in theory, but then did not turn white). Will try some more tomorrow.

[lucho]

Tried some more today. I can't get the pumps to sync. I get the blue and red light all the time (error) even when the RF module is a couple of inches away. I tried at least 5 times in each of the 2 MP40 pumps. What can I do?

[rimai]

Does it work if you restore to original firmware?

[lnevo]

This is the error I'm getting trying to sync my quiet drive driver...i'm using the bus lock firmware you gave me
