Reef Angel Forum

Good morning, I apologize for my bad English.
I wanted to know if there is a management program for Apple REEF ANGEL.
I have seen that there is' only Arduino.
But there is no program like Windows?
If someone can 'help?
Thanks for your patience.

What type of management program are you referring to? Are you talking about the Client Suite or about ReefAngel Generator?

I'm talking about but Reef Generator Client Suite.
And I ask 'if there is a program to deal with Apple that allows me to turn on and off pomp, skimmer, adjust the LED sunrise and sunset etc. ..
All this knowing that I do not know the Arduino.

if you have the wifi adapter you can use the web interface or the iPhone app.

You can also run a virtual machine on your Mac to run the Client Suite.

Ok.

Yes, arduino does upload to the controller. If you do not use ReefAngel Generator to create the code to run on the controller, you have to manually create it yourself. There are samples to help you create the code for your controller to turn on & off the pump, adjust the LED sunrise, etc.
If you have problems getting certain tasks accomplished, then we all can help on here.

My public Sketchbook (sketches are the programs that run on the arduino controller) is available here: https://github.com/curtbinder/SketchBook
You can look at that for examples of how to accomplish the tasks that you want. These files are opened inside Arduino and then uploaded to your ReefAngel by Arduino.

Ok, thanks.
I do not think to use a virtual machine on imac.

Ok, I will try to study your examples.
If this were to lead to good results will acquire Angel Reef.
At the moment it seems difficult to understand this system.
I've never seen the program the Arduino.
And as my Italian language and 'difficult for me.
It would be nice to develop an aid for those who use apple.
Thank you.
Simon.

I've been working on a way to convert my ReefAngel Generator application to work on apple but have not made a lot of progress with it. A new version is being worked on that will run on Apple, Windows and Linux but it is not very far along. There have been other projects that have required more time and work than this one.

Thank you and good job.

By running a "virtual machine" are you suggesting bootcamp to install and run a licensed version of windows, or an emulator that has (I'm assuming required) usb support? If the latter, do you have any suggestions?

Thanks!

You can use Parallels, VirtualBox or VMWare to run a Virtual Windows machine.
