Reef Angel Forum

So I setup my Reef Angel and most of it is working I'm just have 4 issues I was hoping to get help with.

1) My Relay Expansion is not showing up on the RA Portal, it is showing up on my Android App though.

2) I setup ports 5 and 6 on the main relay box to random my power heads from 60 to 120, then ports 7 and 8 on the main relay box to work opposite of ports 5 and 6.

Well that is working pretty good minus the fact that 5 never turns on.

3) I can't get my banner to update.

4) Not so much an issue just a question. I have my LED Drivers plugged into ports 1-4 on Relay Box 2, do I use the PWM Dimming ports on Relay Box 2 or the Main Box?

Here is my programming:

Thank you in advance for any help.

Use the dimming ports on the main relay box.

Does the pump on 5 work if you plug it into another outlet?

Does port 7 turn on and off like it's supposed to, even though 5 isn't coming on?

Can you toggle port 5 from the Android app and have it turn on? There is also a ControllerTester sketch under the file menu, expamples that you can upload to toggle ports manually. Trying to figure out if it's a bad relay, or something else going on.

I can toggle the port from the portal and the android app and it will turn on and off. So the relay seems to be good.

When I manually turn the pump on and off 7 is always on.

Change this:

It should be as easy as choosing the banner you want from the Web Banners tab in the Portal then copying the code from there and pasting it into you signature.

There is nothing you have to do to get new modules to populate in the portal, they just show up automatically.

Have you rebooted since installing it?

To this:

 ReefAngel.WavemakerRandom2( Port6,60,120 );

Thank you that worked

Reboot the Reef Angel Plus?

You have to add the signature as an image.
Most forums will not allow you to put images in your signature because if everyone did that it would place to much of a load on the servers.

Yes rebooted the RA Plus.

Yes rebooted the RA Plus.

Does the RA reboot after you upload new code?

I've tried unplugging it and plugging it back in.
I've hit reboot on my Android app.

Not sur what else to try.

Yes the RA does Reboot after you upload code.
All those that you listed above are ways of doing a reboot on the RA.

Did you set the dip switches inside the module.
If they are all set to off I think that would be the same as the original relay and they may be conflicting.

If the answer to that is yes you have then try using a USB and SVGA cable that you know works.
Try switching them out with the main relay or even remove the main relay altogether and make sure the box is working properly in place of the original relay box.

The add-on relay box works correctly, right? Just not showing on the portal?

--Colin

cosmith71 forget the suggestions I made in the last post.
I forgot that he said it is working and showing up in the Andriod App, but not the Portal.

So the answer to your question

cosmith71 wrote:The add-on relay box works correctly, right? Just not showing on the portal?

would be yes it works, but doesn't show in the portal.
That was in the OP, but I forgot it and thought it wasn't working at all.

I have the Dip switches in side the Relay Expansion Module set to ID1 (all off), I tried setting it up to ID2 and it wouldn't communicate with the expansion relay.

Not sure what else to try or what else I can do. They show up when I scroll through the Reef Angel itself. Just every where but the portal

I think it is related to the space in your username or the portal key.
Try using this: And make sure to disable the portal key.
If it works, then you can go ahead and change the code to use the key again.

Try using this:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.Portal("Gugs%20Jr");

And make sure to disable the portal key.

Still nothing I even tried making a new user name without the space

I don't see anything in the log for this username
The only thing I can think of is somehow the settings are messed up in the wifi attachment if you can communicate with it using the android app.

Thank you for your help everyone
