avrdude done. Thank you.

any ideas?

Are you sure it is the correct serial port?

I've tried 5 and 1, reset computer, tried scanning the usb port. Nada. I am using the modified usb cable for power, shouldn't be a problem though worked fine on old angel..

One other thing... The screen lights up but is blank

The screen may be because it is an old screen and needs a setting in the internal memory to be changed.
Does any of your relay ports turn on?

Did you go from a RA to a RA+? Did you select the RA+ for board type in the menu?

Definitely in plus mode. I hooked it up and got no power on any relays. The jumpers that were on the board on upper left I removed those because I thought that's how other board was setup, but noticed today three jumpers lower right on old board. Could this be in?

You need to have the 3 jumpers in place near the lower middle of the board. Just from from the LCD if I remember correctly.

I couldn't remember the jumpers I removed/changed when I added my dimming module

Well it's uploading now that I put the three jumpers on, still no screen and no relay activities I'll investigate a little more this weekend

Is it an old screen?
I think you need this in your setup() right above ReefAngel.Init();

Code: Select all

  InternalMemory.LCDID_write(255);

It is the same screen that I got with the used reef angel standard I got a few years ago, so I guess it's safe to say yes.. I'll give that a try.

OK that code worked to get screen runnjng

This is why nothing has worked

Ahhh.. There ya go

What does that message on screen mean?

Means its time to upload your INO file

I get this message if. I try to upload my code to the ra+, if I put on any of the test codes they load up normally.. What's happening?

Can you post the code.

Well.... I went up to get code. Had a test code on controller, I decided to upload the code I made from wizard.. And what bam thank you ma'am worked like a champ.. Not sure what happened but it's working great now.. Thanks for help, now I can use all the 110 features..
