Are you sure it is the correct serial port?

[pandimus]

I've tried 5 and 1, reset computer, tried scanning the usb port. Nada. I am using the modified usb cable for power, shouldn't be a problem though worked fine on old angel..

[pandimus]

One other thing... The screen lights up but is blank

[rimai]

The screen may be because it is an old screen and needs a setting in the internal memory to be changed.
Does any of your relay ports turn on?

[Piper]

Did you go from a RA to a RA+? Did you select the RA+ for board type in the menu?

[pandimus]

Definitely in plus mode. I hooked it up and got no power on any relays. The jumpers that were on the board on upper left I removed those because I thought that's how other board was setup, but noticed today three jumpers lower right on old board. Could this be in?

[Piper]

You need to have the 3 jumpers in place near the lower middle of the board. Just from from the LCD if I remember correctly.

[pandimus]

I couldn't remember the jumpers I removed/changed when I added my dimming module

[pandimus]

Well it's uploading now that I put the three jumpers on, still no screen and no relay activities I'll investigate a little more this weekend

[rimai]

Is it an old screen?
I think you need this in your setup() right above ReefAngel.Init();

Code: Select all

  InternalMemory.LCDID_write(255);

It is the same screen that I got with the used reef angel standard I got a few years ago, so I guess it's safe to say yes.. I'll give that a try.

[pandimus]

OK that code worked to get screen runnjng

This is why nothing has worked

[rimai]

Ahhh.. There ya go

[pandimus]

What does that message on screen mean?

[lnevo]

Means its time to upload your INO file

[pandimus]

I get this message if. I try to upload my code to the ra+, if I put on any of the test codes they load up normally.. What's happening?

[lnevo]

Can you post the code.

[pandimus]

Well.... I went up to get code. Had a test code on controller, I decided to upload the code I made from wizard.. And what bam thank you ma'am worked like a champ.. Not sure what happened but it's working great now.. Thanks for help, now I can use all the 110 features..
