Updating libraries

[Bogdan]

Do I need to mark on the WiFi attachment in the wizard even though I don't have it? Is this necessary for the client or portal to work?

[rimai]

Yes, you need wifi to use the Client

[Bogdan]

Roberto,

I still have problems with the controller. While I am waiting for Dave to help me with the client I uninstalled the client completely. Even without the client the controller keep freezing. It doesnt work, cant read the temp or pH. When press the button on the controller the small display get crazy flickering. I have to unplug the power to make it back to work. So something is definitely wrong with the controller even without using the client. Can you help?

[rimai]

Does it enter feeding mode when you press the joystick twice?

[Bogdan]

It does not respond to the joystick at all.

[rimai]

Not even the backlight??
How do you get to see anything on the screen?

[Bogdan]

As I said I can't see anything (that is the problem).

[Bogdan]

Should I try to uninstall the controller and reinstall everything from scratch? I really dont know what else to do.

[rimai]

You just said you see flickering, so you are seeing something....
I don't want to know whether it's anything meaningful or not...
I'm just trying to find out if the issue is LCD, head unit or code.
So, when you see the flickering, how do you get to see it? The controller turns the backlight off after so may seconds.

[Bogdan]

Do you have an email so I can send you a short mp4 showing the flickering?

[Bogdan]

I dont think it is LCD since when I unplug the power and plug it again it does work for a while but then freezes and if I push the joystick it flickers, cant see anything.

Reinstalled the RA Installer 1.0.1 with new library 1.0.7
Went though Wizard and verified/compiled the sketch, but cant upload it. Below is the error:

Do you have RA+?

[Bogdan]

No just RA

[Bogdan]

I see, under the tools, board the RA+ is marked. If I change it to RA the message is sketch is too big.
Should I choose the RA w/ optiboot?

[Bogdan]

OK, managed to upload it after choosing the RA w/optiboot. Is that OK?

[binder]

OK, managed to upload it after choosing the RA w/optiboot. Is that OK?

yes. the RA w/ optiboot is correct for the standard RA.

[Bogdan]

Thanks
