custom build retro'd into nc6 hood. 6 cree xp-e rb, 4 cree xp-g nw and 2 cree xp-g cw all running at 1a on buckpucks.

ohh, nice, but alas to rich for my blood, at this time.

Not to hard, but I don't know how far you would be able to strech the signals from the main board. Never tested it. But, I don't think this will ever be tested or tried, considering the fact that a new display module is being prototyped. so anymore info available at this point? you say display modu...

huh? really? thats not fair :O( i want one.

hey roberto, just a gee whiz, how hard would it be to have all the brains of the ra inside a separate housing and the display by itself with one cable connecting it to the brain box? this way all the wires for temp, pwm, ph, etc can mount to a non moveable location and the display could be easier to...

thought since were all reefers here maybe someone could id this zoa. other forums i frequent im not getting anywhere. its the one in the middle of pic.

just venting...sorry. so i posted a link on one of the forums i visit to the cloud/lightning video and people were just haters...well let me clarify, peeps with metal halides were chiming in how us led-ers do the clouds, storms and lightning and for what reason. i had a couple people say itll kill s...

lol, ironic, cause i thought it looked better on the video the other member had posted on youtube. also the vid on my d5000 its hard to set the wb right, the tank is waaaay more blue than it looks in the video. seems like i have better luck with my underwater fuji point and shoot.

are you using the pwm ports on relay box? if so what kind of drivers?

youtube, lol. i checked it out, very cool. im still wondering about spooking the fish, since i know i get tank raised fish they have never seen lightning before, could see 'em freaking and jumping or something.

ill volunteer my generator is it expedites things.

ok, prob just wait for this...eta?

more reason to love the RA. great work guys. before this is standard, anything i can do now to see what code changes will look like?

sorry if this sounds out there. i was just thinking that it would be nice if there was a program that would allow a test pde to be displayed. mostly cause i would like to start tweaking a custom main but dont want to have to upload the code to the controller each time to tweak it. is there something...

thanks as always, if u ever make it to socal let me know, ill owe u a beer, or 2.

thanks roberto, do i need to load the memory and code? or just the code?

hey all figured i would pick some of your brains cause i feel bad buggin roberto all the time. since this is loosely related to reef angel controller, its not robertos responsibility to help me as much as he has. i have the reef angel running on my 6 gal and built another 5 gal tank with custom led ...

i just used a little hi temp epoxy and glued the probe right to the heatsink near a star, works great.

Sorry Trevor... I've been reading lots of places that people just have these problems with the buckpucks. Not just you. The solution always seems to be optoisolation, like we've been working on. But, there was a couple of places where they mention connecting the Vin- to ground, instead of LED- to g...

Well, you can mark Recom drivers as compatible with your design. I do have some isolation built into my PCB, but nothing unusual that you wouldn't expect any novice to design in. Can you post your schematics? I'm interested to know how you connected the RA GND to your drivers. I'm starting to think...

rimai wrote:The picutre above would never work the way it is.
The signal LO/HI needs a ground reference, which isn't represented in the design.

hmm, prob why it didn't work for me, i thought i wired it wrong somehow.

I don't think that would solve the issue. The biggest problem is connecting the LED- to RA ground. if its wired with a transistor there is no - led connection. i tried it, i have the parts but didn't have any luck, i wired the other way cause it was quick and worked with the code inversion...but th...

hey ice, that should set you up, i run pucks also and roberto gave me the inverted code and they work perfect. only issue is that the values displayed will be inverted, if you have code at like 70% the display will read 30%, what binder said i could do is go into the reefangel_nokia cpp and towards ...

lol, yup simple, or so i think. lol. so plug the moonlight code into the pde at the bottom right? then just call that function in the loop? also what about comp. with the inverted pucks?

hey roberto, what about setting this to use channel 3 of the pwm exp module, where i have my moonlight connected?

ahh, i see said the blind man...

cool, with this code how will if affect the channels?

hey roberto is there a way to specify a certain channel on the pwm exp mod to work with this code
