My RA continuously reboots after doing a pH calibration

[altralosix]

Well this is weird. I just got my RA set up a few hours ago, everything was running great. I did my pH calibration and went back to the main menu. I took my probe out of the 10.0 solution, washed it off, and then stuck it into the 7.0 solution to see what my reading was on the main display. The RA started freaking out and I saw some impossible numbers on the pH display, and then the RA shut off. Now it continuously will light up, the red LED blinks 3 times, I see the line where pH would normally be displayed is all gibberish, and then it shuts off and starts over again. My relays are randomly turning on and off. I attempted to upload the default RA arduino code and got no improvement.

I read on the forum that a Reset jumper exists, so I opened up the case and removed that jumper for 20 seconds and still got no improvement. I assumed this was like resetting a computer's CMOS, but I was just guessing.

Any help is appreciated!

Let's reset the calibration numbers to default.
Something didn't quite go well with that calibration.

Code: Select all

#include <ReefAngel_Features.h>
#include <Globals.h>
#include <RA_Wifi.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <OneWire.h>
#include <Time.h>
#include <DS1307RTC.h>
#include <InternalEEPROM.h>
#include <RA_NokiaLCD.h>
#include <RA_ATO.h>
#include <RA_Joystick.h>
#include <LED.h>
#include <RA_TempSensor.h>
#include <Relay.h>
#include <RA_PWM.h>
#include <Timer.h>
#include <Memory.h>
#include <InternalEEPROM.h>
#include <RA_Colors.h>
#include <RA_CustomColors.h>
#include <Salinity.h>
#include <RF.h>
#include <IO.h>
#include <ORP.h>
#include <AI.h>
#include <ReefAngel.h>

void setup()
{
  ReefAngel.Init();
  ReefAngel.PHMin=820; // 820=PH10.0
  ReefAngel.PHMin=520; // 520=PH7.0
}

void loop()
{
  ReefAngel.ShowInterface();
}

After this, you can upload your code again.

Woohoo that got my RA working again. Next question, since my pH solution is probably bad at this point, how can I manually enter the numbers I got from my calibration?

When in the 7.0 solution I had:
524
562
564

and then in the 10.0 solution I had
524
813
837

Use this in your code, just like the code above, inside the setup() section.

Code: Select all

  ReefAngel.PHMin=813; // 813=PH10.0
  ReefAngel.PHMin=562; // 562=PH7.0

You can also use Android app if you have wifi or the Client to set internal memory settings.

Thanks for the help Roberto!
