Any way to manually calibrate salinity?

Post by Smotz »

My probe is in place - I would rather not have to crawl in there to remove it. I know my tank is at 37.5 PPT (I know, a little high).

There should definitely be a way :) I believe there's a memory location that stores the calibration value. You just have to tweak it till you get your salinity to dispaly 37.5... I'm sure you could do the math to figure out the number as well.

It's an int value so, you can use your web browser to find out what you have now:
http://ipaddress:2000/mi247
Then to save a new value, you can use this:
http://ipaddress:2000/mi247,2550
This will save 2550 to memory location 247
The trick is that you must reboot after you save the new value.
Also, another alternative is using hard code in your setup() section after ReefAngel.Init();

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.SalMax=2550;

Anyway to NOT have to reboot?

When using internal memory?
If so, try adding this to the loop():

Code: Select all

  ReefAngel.SalMax=InternalMemory.SalMax_read();
