you can put the linux support at the bottom of your list. the Bluetooth should take priority over linux support IMO

Yeah, not sure it is possible at all to get bluetooth com ports in the list.
The underlying code uses hardware ports that have a VID and PID and a bluetooth serial port is virtual and doesn't have PID/VID.

Has anyone figured out why the .pkg file will not install on a mac?

Not sure why it is not working for you.
I just tested and it worked for me.
I tested on OSX 10.11 El Captain.

I added the ability to enter labels for most of the parameters.
Let me know if anyone has any problems.

Just found a bug...

Reset my controllers (plus) code back to a basic one created with the wizard. I was getting a couple errors and figured it was best to reset it since nothing but the wifi module is connected.

Using the InitialInternalMemory file in installer 1.1.3 and the wizard when you go to set the clock if you select AM for the time it changes the clock to PM. If you set it to PM it changes the clock to AM.

No biggy but likely an easy fix...

Am I doing something wrong or did I not install something, when using the Web Wizard I don't have the tty.usbserial for a port option only the cu.usbserial? Code compiles fine and I can save it. As a quick fix i just copy and pasted the code into Arduino and uploaded from there. I'm on a MBP running OSX 10.11.6 using Chrome.

New user and I just got a used RA+.

I just got the Cloud Portal. I downloaded the latest RA code, ReefAngelInstaller_1.1.3.exe. (I had 1.1.1 installed before that).

Installed.

Per the docs, used the WebWizard. Got a sketch. Copied it to my development machine (I use vMicro, but for this I used the RA Arduino fork executable). A snippet of the problem code:

Code: Select all

	////// Place your custom code below here


	////// Place your custom code above here

	ReefAngel.CloudPortal();
	// This should always be the last line
	ReefAngel.ShowInterface();
I get an error:

Code: Select all

Error: 'class ReefAngelClass' has no member function named 'CloudPortal'
Indeed, I downloaded the Github code (https://github.com/reefangel/Libraries) and find that the word "CloudPortal" does not exist in any of the library files, and is not a member of ReefAngel.cpp. I even followed breadcrumbs to https://github.com/lnevo but it's the same as what's checked in under ReefAngel.

So what do I have to do to get this to compile?

Thanks,

That seems better, BUT ...

Then the "Dev" branch needs to be copied over, or the docs need updating. This is crazy.

I copied over the dev branch to my user folder (%USER%\Arduino) and now I'm getting a ton of compiler errors. Can't quite tell if the Dev branch is Arduino 1.0.1 or something newer. This is harder than it should be.

Is this product dead? :(

No. The dev branch is the latest. It is what it is used on the web wizard.
I decided not use the Arduino IDE for mainstream anymore. It is only used for development.
The webwizard is what you want to use if you don't want to worry about compile errors.
Link for webwizard: http://forum.reefangel.com/webwizard
Now, if you are talking about doing library development, then it is another story. You will need the IDE.
So, I would suggest just going to webwizard and doing all the compiling and uploading in there.

I am doing development :(

Or, I was ... I copied over my code into the web wizard and at least sort of got it to work.

But how do you suggest we do this if we use the Bluetooth adapter for upload?

Copy and paste into the Audrino app and upload with the Bluetooth adapter, it's just more convenient because it's wireless.

But that’s the problem. The web wizard is using the dev branch, which works with the cloud portal. The 1.1.3 libraries don’t support this in Arduino. And the web wizard doesn’t support the Bluetooth adapter.

Just a few posts above, it sounded like copying the dev branch locally was causing a bunch of compile errors. I haven’t tried doing this myself yet, though.

Seems odd to me that the web wizard would be using the dev branch and not a release branch. And why hasn’t the cloud portal made it into a release branch yet if it’s being sold?

The release branch is quite old and hasn't been updated in a few years. As we've moved to the web wizard we can keep it up to date much easier. The RA libraries work just fine with the latest dev branch, you just get the compile errors but it does work. The bluetooth adapter just gives you a serial link over bluetooth to do the updating instead of using serial.

As far as the release branch, I was looking at it the other day and thinking it's probably a good time to update the master branch :) Overall that would be Roberto's call and will probably require re-packaging the local Arudino client which was quite a pain in the butt honestly, but I do affirm that if you download the latest and replace the libraries with the DEV branch you should be OK aside from the verbose compiler output.

Hi, I have a Reef Angle Star and have amended the code through the Web Wizard. The code is compiled successfully and I have also the Plug in found and connected in blue. However I cannot connect to any port. I am using the usb cable with my pc supplied. Any idea what I should do, cause I cannot upload the code on the unit.

Thanks

Go to "Device Manager" on windows and expand "Ports (COM & LPT)"
Disconnect RA from the computer. Do you see any port disappear?
Now connect it back in. Do you see any port show up?

Roberto had me buy the Cloud Wifi Attachment to combat an intermittent connectivity issue with the old wifi attachment and I cannot upload.

I have a solid cyan light in the cloud module.
I have run the wizard and wrote a new code.
I downloaded and installed the plug-in, but the wizard says "Plugin was not found"
I cannot see any com ports or remote upload through the wizard, but I see them in device manager.

Any help would be great.
Thank you

I switched to edge and that fixed the plugin. Still no com ports.

Wouldn't this allow me to remote upload with out using the usb?

Im getting somewhere. I was able to get COM5 and push an update to the controller. When I view the webpage for the controller it says disconnected. Ill start with resetting the password.

What else should I be looking at?
