wifi adapter acting strange

Post by tech9 »

I can connect via the portal, and also by aquarium log (sometimes) but I cannot connect to the RA directly using http://IP:2000/wifi it just brings up a blank page, but IP:2000 brings up: Reef Angel Controller Web Server, also IP:2000/sa works but only sometimes. Should I try and upgrade the firmware on the wifi?

Also on a side note: any EASY way to change the PWM dimming on the fly, like if I want blues at 100% while I work on the tank, but just an override that will revert if I change it back. I was logging into the wifi RA direct, but its kind of a pain.

I can PM my ip if you want to test it.

You can set the pwm overrides to a value 0-100. Anything above cancels the override. Take a look at the thread wifi attachment commands (think its in the portal forum)

Its something like this /pwmao100 to set the actinic channel to 100.

As far as the rest the /wifi relies on external files. Maybe the site is blocked where your testing? Either way I'd say check your port forwarding

So maybe my files on RA are just corrupt:

Why do I get this also:

You have something trying to connect to the module.
Most likely the client suite.
I would recommend stopping it before you try to perform any update or it will keep interrupting it.

Actually yes, I just discovered that, i couldn't figure out what was doing that. Still not updating for some reason. I did a factory reset on the wifi module, and re-setup and even tried the TeraTerm "fix" you posted.

But I reloaded the RA to factory, uploaded my wizard code, its working 100%, except the wifi dashboard

It goes to the "Reef Angel Controller Web Server" just fine, but blank page on the /wifi, tried on different computers, my phone, etc. Where are those files stored that it cannot access. Also I am connecting locally when trying this: http://192.168.88.189:2000/wifi It all started after a power outage.

Code: Select all

/wifi was not working for anybody.
The reefangel.com server had missing files after I moved hosting provider.
It's fixed now and you should be able to get /wifi again.
