Client Suite 3.0

[dmolton]

Can the listener service app config be edited to change the polling frequency?

Scratch that, after looking closer I see the listener is real time. How do I change the logging frequency in the client app? It is updating every 3 min but sometimes every 4min so I'm assuming it's logging around every 3.1 min.

The live parameters get updated 15 seconds on screen (Temp, PH, ATO, Relays etc...). The chart will get updated every 3 minutes if you're viewing the Live (24hr) view of the chart or grid. Parameters will get stored in the database every 6 minutes. I believe data will be pushed to the portal every 5 minutes. Some of these used to be configurable but that option was removed to avoid errors when setting the timespan too low.

How often were you looking to poll?

Dave,



Is there any chance of getting the latest source too listener & Logger?

Thanx,

Michael

I'm finishing up a new API to communicate with the controller/portal that I'm using in the Store App. The source code and .dll will be available on github shortly.

Dave, will you be supporting the ph expansion, the salinity expansion units any time soon? Love your product!

Also, how do I use the min, max, and average temp values shown on the pictures? Thx

Thanks, Ross. Salinity is already supported - have a look at the General Tab in settings to enable it. This is also where you get the min/max/avg calculations. Check the "Display aggregate values" checkbox in that tab also. I'll work on getting the pH expansion working as well!

Is there anyway to see the value of my water level at certain intervals? or when a specific relay is turned on? I use the water level instead of the ATO switches and would like too see when and how often it reaches the high/low thresholds I set. If it is being log in a memory file, where can I access that? It would be awesome to graph the WL %

Thanks,

JP

I recently received and hooked up a water level sensor as well and already have a rough implementation of it in the desktop client. SMS/Email notification alerts need to implemented for water level, salinity and the pH expansion as well.

Im getting "Error 1920" during install at starting services.

Im getting "Error 1920" during install at starting services.

Is there any more to the message other than Error 1920? Can you confirm you have the .Net Framework 4.0 installed? What version of Windows?

[Paulturner911]

I do have .net 4, Im on XP. Its a list of errors...probably not your problem. I managed to get it installed and then reads cannot open because it is configured incorrectly. Do you have an email address you could pm me so that I could send you a picture of the error?

Question on the Client Suite v3.0.

Does it still support adjusting the PWM percentage?

I believe that the earlier version allowed you to adjust it via the sliders. This one does too, but it never actually changes. It displays the precentage but then goes back to the current settings via the controller. No matter what I do, it stays.

I was trying to get the color ration set because I think the LED's are a bit too blue.

[rimai]

It does, as long as you override the port that was selected as lights on.
So, for example your code has a line like this:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.LightsOnPorts = Port2Bit;

If you override port 2 to always on, you can use the sliders.

[saf1]

Hi, and thanks for the reply. I don't recall changing that but I went ahead and pulled up a sketch and see it is set to 0.

The next question is how do I know that is the sketch that is loaded? Is there anyway to tell on the actuall device?

Thanks again.

// Ports toggled when Lights On / Off menu entry selected
ReefAngel.LightsOnPorts = 0;

[rimai]

You would need to look at the code you uploaded to the controller.

[saf1]

Hi Rimai,

I tried setting the Port2Bit as you suggested but it still isn't doing the trick and allowing me to adjust the lighting per the client. In fact, I'm not even sure the client is pulling the correct memory settings oddly enough. I know it is working but maybe I don't have it configured correctly. Everything is working as it should though as my lights come on, off via PWM as I set. I even tested it this morning by changing the start time from 10 to 7.

Not sure if I can post the code, but I will try:

Ok, the code looks good.
Now, on the client, override port 2 to always on instead of auto.
Does it change now?

[saf1]

Ok, that did the trick. Thanks. I figured there was something that I wasn't doing. Even though it was on, it wasn't set to always like you pointed out.

Thank you much. Appreciate the help.

This is the error I am getting trying to run the program. I can run the dashboard and listener will run, logger will run, but when I switch notifier on, logger will stop.

[cosmith71]

I've been getting this since the library upgrade:



Any thoughts?

--Colin

[rimai]

Yeah, we need Dave to fix the Client...
It happened before:
http://forum.reefangel.com/viewtopic.php?p=16602#p16602
Everytime there is an internal memory added, it's going to break the Client.
I think this new file may fix it...
Want to try it?

[cosmith71]

Seems to have fixed it. I had to exit out and restart after I loaded the memory file.

Thanks, Roberto!

[Paulturner911]

Anyone wanna chime in on my error?

[Ademster]

Next time this is updated, can we add the ability to see the expansion modules?

ie: ph expan, orp, water level, etc?

and all be part of the graphs?
and maybe have the ability to separate them all?

[enigma32]

@Paulturner911:
It seems to be usually related to the VC++ redistributable... I imagine the installer ensures that you have the right one though. (Perhaps it doesn't, or maybe if it used to work you have installed something that changed the version of the library you had...)
Maybe try reinstalling the client?

Otherwise I think you'll have to wait for the author or someone else familiar with .Net programming to respond... I won't touch that stuff

[rimai]

For v1.0.7, you need this new ini file.

[rossbryant1956]

save this file where?

[cosmith71]

save this file where?

Put it anywhere. Open up ReefAngel Client, go to Settings, then Load Memory File. Navigate to the settings file you just saved and it will load it up.

[rimai]

A few posts back, Dave explains what to do with it:

Wherever on your computer.Then go Setting and Memory file and brows to where you saved the file.
Maybe it will work for you, it didn't for me.
Good luck.

Good luck.

Be sure to close out the program and restart it after you load the memory file.

Also, make sure you're using the correct memory file for your library version. There's a couple floating around.

I just installed it and got it working.
Great tool Dave Thanks.

The online settings don't seem to let me click in there and do anything.
Actually the "Send Parameters to Reef Angel Portal for online viewing".

[Sacohen]

I'm getting text & email notifications pretty much every hour saying "pH has reached defined low threshold of 7. The current pH is: x.xx" Usually around 6.0.

I've watched the portal pretty much all day yesterday and had it open at work all morning today and never saw it dip very far out of range. IE today it has stayed pretty much at 7.86.

Also yesterday when it was happening I would go to the client and look at the graph and there was no indication of anything that far out of line.

Are there known issues like this?

I also have notifications set up on the RA Portal and have received nothing except when I my sump fan turned on at noon and brought the water in the sump down to 74°. This is OK, because the light came on at that time to and will start heating up the water,

Hi,

Is can you set it to C temp reading?? My controller is in Celsius.

Thanks
Tony

*** sorry i found it i looked straight at it and didn't see it***

Thanks for the application to its great.....

Id love to get this up and running. I have installed and uninstalled many times over on 2 different hardrives. One was XP with some jacked up mods which may have affected the .NET, so I tried on a virgin Vista, both show the same error. Anyone else have any troubleshooting I could try?

[Paulturner911]

Problem was with the NET4 update....I had bought 1TB HD and started from scratch, works like a charm!! This thing is bad ass!!

after insatlling fresh new reef angel client suite
i cannot enter the memmory tab

i got the latest online version of libraries Controller is running dev libraries v.1.0.9
