RA on the way

[sunspotjonz]

i jut got a RA used and i was wondering if i should get a new ph probe, it has 3 temp probes, 1 used 2 new, and the power bar has 1 socket not working? (any idea why). what should i do for the programming when i get it? would i up date it or reset everything. and can i set everything from the head unit or do i have to load something on to my computer?

Yes, you will need to install the software in your computer if you want to change anything.
Please download the newest RA installer and try the Reef Angel Wizard on menu Tools->Reef Angel Wizard.

got the RA in and have no idea how to do anything! going to need alot of help with this one! have it all hooked up just want to get it up and going.

[rimai]

Like I mentioned earlier. Try the Reef Angel Wizard.

[sunspotjonz]

first to start, my usb cord, dont plug into the RA anywhere?

[sunspotjonz]

its to small to plug into the bottom of the head unit?

[DrewPalmer04]

bottom right side of the main head unit

[sunspotjonz]

its not even the same size as the plug?

[rimai]

I think you are refering to the USB Power cable and not the USB-TTL cable.

Use this instead of RA Gen

Should be the first exe link if your are running micro$oft winblows

[sunspotjonz]

thats what i dl and it says reef angel generator on my desk top

[DrewPalmer04]

Open Arduino program (on desktop)...go to tools...Reef Angel Wizard

[sunspotjonz]

i pluged it in like the pic.. and and when i changed everythign the way i like and went to load it. it says that it isnt plugged in?

[chachew]

In the arduino software you will also have to change the type of controller that the software is looking for. Im at work and cant think of what it defaults too, mine defaulted to a different controller than i was using. But i believe that setting is in the same group as the Reef Angel Wizzard

[sunspotjonz]

i figureed it out but now the screen just says no internal memory found?

[sunspotjonz]

it said it was uploaded and everything and the screen went liek that, wont let me do anything it wont go away

[sunspotjonz]

and how do i set time and date also

[rimai]

Restore to preloaded code to change the date and time is the easiest way.

[sunspotjonz]

i think i got it now, it says its done. but. now i cant figure out the date and time?

[sunspotjonz]

also.. all 3 of my temps say error?

[rimai]

After you connect the probe, you need to reboot the controller.
Probes are only scanned when the controller is starting up.
To change the date/time, you have several ways, but the easiest method for you right now is to restore preloaded code by going to menu Tools->Restore Preloaded Code.
Or you can paste your code and I'll add the date/time menu feature to your code for you.

[rimai]

Actually, I just realized that you have RA+, right?
If so, you can just press the joystick and navigate to date/time menu.
RA+ gets that feature by default.

also is there a way to find out what dimming version i have?

[rimai]

There is no dimming in the code you posted.

[sunspotjonz]

i no theres not but i was just owndering cuz it says theres 2 different versions that there is when you buy it. and since i bought it used im not sure what one it is.

[rimai]

Look underneath the relay box.
If it has a sticker "Analog Dimming", that's the analog one. If there is no sticker, you have PWM.
