Reef Angel Forum

I'm trying to reset my wifi adapter and i'm having trouble doing it, i tried the new app for setting wifi and i get the false statement on blue led blinks, i tried the older utility and i get this:

CMD
set w a 4
AOK
<2.32> set w p xxxxxxx
AOK
<2.32> set w s xxxxxx
AOK
<2.32> set i l 2000
AOK
<2.32> save
Storing in config
*BAD CONFIG*
<2.32> reboot

*Reboot*

What should i do?? i Know is not my router cause it was working this morning, i was just trying to set with the new utility to see if i lose connection less often.

Did you try the reset to factory settings button?

I tried now, but it didn't work, still getting false statement on the new utility, and on the old one everything seen ok, but adapter don't connect to router.

I can't find my ssid

It's the wireless network name

For some reason it doesn't work

Both SSID and password is case sensitive.
I also recommend WPA2-PSK with AES encryption.
I've seen some of the other security options giving problems in the past.
Also, does either the SSID or password have a space in it?

I have two different routers I tried them both and yes one does have a space in the name

Does my router need to be plugged in to my computer?

No, it does not need to be plugged into the computer.
Try replacing the space with a $ sign.

How do I upload the wifi test code to the reef angel?

I have a 6 pin usb/ttl cable but the input on the reef angel is 8 pin?

I also have a ttl cable that is 6 pin female on one side and 8 pin female on the other?

thanks

The USB-TTL cable can be used to upload codes to RA and also to setup the wifi attachment.
The 6pin-8pin is to be used when you want to connect RA to the wifi attachment.
Black wire is always to the right-most pin. Please check the manual for instructions on how to connect.

Hi there,

With the 2nd type of connection, will it work if there is no passphrase? I am not sure why it would but it does nothing once I click "setup wifi attachment" just leaves black. I have talked to my master (father) and it is all to hard to put one on to try

I am getting to this point and then nothing.

I don't think it would work with no password

yeah typed i a random bunch of letters and it did something but obviously didn't work. here comes the next 6 months battling to get one lol

Hey roberto,

The wifi attachment will work if you have no password you just need to put a space in the box.

Cool
Thanks for sharing.

I so far have had a sucessful install until I go to type the IP in the address bar, then I get no connection. Set up went well, have only a green light blinking, but no connection. Any advice?

If you have a green blinking light then it should be good. Check in your router and see what ip address was assigned.

no clue how to do that! I copied the address the set up wizzard gave me...?

What ip address? Can you ping it from the command prompt?

You just put the ip in the address bar? You need the port too... Like this

http://192.168.1.20:2000

I tried that exact thing, but my address is obviously different.. I just get page can not be displayed

What kind of router do you have?

Seems to be figured out now, but when I use the iphone app, I can only get my readings when my phone is hooked up to the in house wifi, not 3g

Sounds like your router is either not allowing traffic in from the internet on port 2000 OR your iphone does not know your home network's public IP address, or BOTH.

You can use http://www.whatismyip.com to determine your public IP address on your home network and you can use http://www.canyouseeme.org/ to probe your home network's port 2000 from the internet for a response. Also note if your ISP is connecting you to the internet via dynamic IP address you may also need to use a dynamic DNS service like DYNDNS.ORG

I'm guessing its the iPhone that's the problem? I went to both sites and everything seems good. Port 2000 is open and communicating.

You need to set your iPhone to use the public ip...not the internal one you got when you setup the module... Then you can use a dynamic dns service to give that ip a name so if your provider changes your ip your RA will still work.

And from inside the outside address should work with most routers...

Ok, I'm confused. So if I load the wifi test code won't that erase the code I'm using now to run my tank?

You should have your older code saved and just reload it after the test. You can also modify it so that the ports you need are on while testing.
