Reef Angel Forum

ok, so i installed my wifi module the other day, and the daylight pwm just stopped working. It shows it working on the angel, but i get no voltage on the leads. I also updated the librarys at the same time. Any idea where to start troubleshooting?

I don't see anything wrong with the code.

I would try:
1) Without the WiFi attachment connected
2) (if #1 still fails) try the ControllerTester sketch.
3) (if #2 still fails) rebuild with the old libraries and verify that the problem was caused by upgrading.

Where do I find controller test sketch? How do I down grade library? Also I noticed the lighting menu is gone from the controller.what caused that?

I believe the controller test sketch should be in File > Examples, but I'm not positive because I use a very not-normal configuration here.

It looks like there are a few things that could make the Lighting menu go away...
It might actually be worth running through the wizard to double check that everything is configured as you want in there.
Otherwise I'm sorry to say I'm not yet familiar enough with RA yet to be able to help you further

To get the standard menu back (which includes the lighting menu), you need to add this line after the ReefAngel.Init(); line in the loop() function:

I've tried everything here except reverting library's.not sure how to do that.hey roberto, is it possible to burn out just one channel of the pwm?

That's a possibility.

If i buy the pwm dimmer expansion will this affect it?

Can you test the channel using ControllerTester code?
File->Sketchbook->Example Codes

I did that the other day.and bad channel does nothing.good channel works fine.

You can replace the LM358 to fix the channel.
If you get the dimming expansion, it would give you 6 more channels.

I removed the lm358 to make my unit 5v

Which is the daylight pins on lm358 1&3 or 5&7?
