You actually need to store pH probes in a special solution for pH probe storage. If I'm not mistaken is a solution based on KCl. The salinity is actually better off stored dry. Great, thanks Roberto. Found a solution on Amazon that should do the trick: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0071AR9XI/re...

Hey all, Just curious about recommendations for long-term storage of the PH and Salinity probes. Did some searching around on the forums and couldn't find anything, but did see recommendations for storing the PH probe in PH 4 solution, and the salinity probe in 35 ppt calibration fluid on other site...

Roberto, are the probes under warranty or do I need to purchase another for replacement? Welcome to the club. I cant seem to unplug a single item from my controller without yanking the wires out of the plastic plugs. After pulling the wires right out of the pins on my ATO float connectors and having...

Looks like it was the T3 probe. In the process I managed to strip the wires out of the housing though. The connector sits so tight in the head unit it's very difficult to pull out even with needle nosed pliers.

At some point yesterday one of my temp probes, I believe it was T3, started reading error. So when I got up today I thought maybe it was just a connection problem and made sure the connector was in snug. Now all 3 read error. I've tried rebooting the controller several times without any results. Not...

Yep, that was it thanks again!

Ah, spoke to soon. Initially it worked, but I changed the time and now when I load the ino file the screen turns white and both pumps stay on, along with my ato port (without being triggered by the float switch). If I comment out the code and upload it everything seems okay. Here's my ino with the a...

Perfect, thanks Roberto!

Currently I have my WM sent on random via the following code: ReefAngel.WavemakerRandom( Port5,10,15 ); ReefAngel.Relay.Set(Port6,!ReefAngel.Relay.Status(Port5)); I would like to 'override' the toggling function while in feeding mode so the pellets get blown around the tank and not just dumped off i...

Really excited for a widget, looks like it's coming along well. Minor comment would be the ability to customize the background/text color and transparency. Also, thought it would be pretty cool to have the RA banners available as a widget option as well for tablets and some of the larger screen phon...

No worries. Due to the amount of support you guys provide via the forums I find a lot of the answers I need, or at least enough to figure things out when I get stuck

Hah, awesome...been using this forever and never knew that.

Is there a way to set ports back to auto once they have been toggled off/on via the app? Seems like if I override a port I have to go to the portal to switch it back to auto. Thanks!

Sounds good, thanks roberto.

Is there a portal alert setting for if EXP1_RELAY is not present (as in lost power)? I looked through the list and didn't see anything obvious.

Great thanks Roberto, here's to saving another ATO port!

Great thanks for the quick reply! I'll give it a try once I have a chance to monitor it as well and post my results. Messing with dosing routines is always scary! =)(

Another thing that can be done to further simplify things is to add in some define's for the relay boxes. This will make it easier to use the function. Instead of doing this: ReefAngel.Relay.IsRelayPresent(0); You could to this: ReefAngel.Relay.IsRelayPresent(MAIN_RELAY); // useless like you said, ...

My dosing pump code is rather long/outdated. I noticed several changes to this function. Just curious if there's a cleaner way to do it than my current code, which has them turn on at midnight dosing 2-3 secs every hour until 6am. I was hoping to use the new DosingPump/DosingPumpRepeat functions to ...

Okay, I assumed that since the SDA/SCL jumpers were on the RA+ board it was already configured. Apparently they are offset. So I went ahead and fully connected the jumpers and the numbers show up in the cal window. Only other question is the jumper offset on RST. Should that be fully connected or ju...

No change- the power supply light is green, the Salinity Exp Module Light is green too. I also power cycled the controller after plugging directly into the main relay box. I've also noticed since upgrading to .9.9 my expansion relay box works through the RA Client by turning ports off/on, but doesn'...

Alright, well I've been messing around for a while and I'm not having much luck. So far here's what I can verify: 1) The #include <Salinity.h> is in my sketch 2) My features file contains #define SALINITYEXPANSION 3) The Salinity exp module is plugged in to my expansion hub, which is plugged into my...

Great, that's working now. Just used the opposite function in the reply to my old thread like you suggested ;) I just tried to calibrate my salinity probe via the menu, but the number in red reads 0. I know the controller sees the probe because on the main screen it said 60, and when I put it in the...

Awesome, thanks! On another note I've noticed the wavemaker on port 6 has not been turning on, but 5 toggles as expected using the random interval. I am able to turn it on via the RA Client I/F.

I couldn't find any specific manual for the Expansion Hub in the Downloads section. Do I need to do anything other than follow the instructions (seems to be just plugging in) other than what's provided in the Expansion Module manual? I just upgraded to a RA+ running the 9.9 libraries. I created my i...

No luck, also tried disabling all RA services then plugging cable in as well.

I'm trying to disable wifi to process data through the USB cable. When I uncheck the WIFI option I get the following message: See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text ************** System.ArgumentOutOf...

I went back and read what you wrote and I think the confusion was on the part where you followed the markings on the ATO cable.
The ATO float switches use the same pinout as the PWM output ports.
You can find the pinout in the user manual.

Okay, yeah that's def it I'll shoot you a PM.

No, I reverted back to my old code to make sure it wasn't something that I had done since. Also the RA Client shows the ATO Hi as red, normally it's green since the switch is all the way down making contact. Here's my code just in case: #include <ReefAngel_Features.h> #include <ReefAngel_Globals.h> ...
