Not sure what is going on, but the pH calibration function appears not to function correctly. I finally had to take the initial readings given by the function and then read the pH7 and pH10 calibration fluids and manually adjust from within ReefAngel Client. It took me about three adjustments with e...

ReefAngel Client V2.2

Does the "Feed Mode" in the Timers section control all devices specified in the "ReefAngel.FeedingModePorts" section of the .pde file?

Is the value specified in seconds?

Is there somewhere we specify the duration of the Water Change?

When making changes to the Wavemaker in ReefAngel Client V2.2 - are the changes instant, or do we have to reboot the controller?

I only want to have one pump using the wavemaker function. Are there any restrictions I should be aware of?

One easy way to do this would be leaving the function the way it is and use another one to turn it off when it is within the timeframe for turn off. So, use this: ReefAngel.Relay.DelayedOn(Port1, 1); if (NumMins(hour(),minute()) <= NumMins(8,0)) ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port1) // Turn off Port1 before 8...

So, you would like have the port work on time schedule, but if it is stopped by feeding/water change mode or power cycle, it should delay start, is that it?

Correct!

rimai wrote:Can you explain a little more?

The ReefAngel.Relay.DelayedOn function accepts the port as the first argument and the time of the delay as the second argument. Will it accept additional arguments such as time on/time off?

In addition to setting a 1 minute delay to:
ReefAngel.Relay.DelayedOn(Port1, 1);

I would also like to set a schedule for on/off times.

Is this possible? What are the values the function accepts? OR Where can I find them in the code?

Thanks!!

Do I have to reboot controller?

Are you saying it is drifting by 1 whole pH unit? like 9 and 11pH? If it is just drifiting by 0.01, then you are fine. You will never get lab grade pH readings. Even the probe is not lab grade. Seems like the PHMin is fine according to your results. Just increase/decrease the PHMax until you get th...

I am also having pH calibration issues. After following the procedure here, I test with cal solution and find: pH 7.0 solution reads 7.0 and stable after 10 minutes pH 10.0 solution reads 9.76 after 20 minutes and still drifting up and down by 1. And yes I did power cycle after calibration. Dev Lib ...

I generated code using RAGen and added my moonlights and a 2 minute delay on port 3. Ports 5 and 6 are for Wavemaker1 and Wavemaker 2. I fired up ReefAngel Client (v2.2) and changed wavemaker 1 & 2 from 0 to 10, but ports 5 & 6 are still always on.

Have it running on both my laptop and workstation.

Since both switches used in the standard mode will be submerged in (salt water) at some time, are they properly sealed to last a long time?

Please provide information on the Actinic and Daylight connections on the Relay Box:
Max Power (in watts)
Min/Max voltage

Thanks!

I have found that this statement does not work as expected: if (hour()>22 && hour()<9) { ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(MoonPhase()); ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight(MoonPhase()); } My moonlights were on all the time. To make my moonlights turn on at 7PM and turn off at 7AM I found: Added this code to t...

When not using the Client Suite 2.2 (authentication does not work in Client Suite), I have had no problems accessing my controller using authentication. I have the following entry in my .pde file: ReefAngel.Init(); //Initialize controller WifiAuthentication("xxxx:yyyyyyyyy"); Where xxxx is...

Roberto,

I have installed the Client software and worked with it. I believe what you have suggested might work if Dave could add it to his program.

Dave, A couple of things I have discovered: When the WifiAuthentication is set - the Client Suite errors out with (log file entry): Message: Inside WifiSend: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized. StackTrace: at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadDataInternal(Uri address, WebRequest&...

No, I'm suggesting having the code that calculates the times be moved to the Client Suite that Dave has developed or to the reefangel.com website. All the controller would have to do is query one of the two everyday at midnight and ask for the the 4 parameters for that particular day (sunset/sunris...

I have found that Notepad++ is a great editor for programming. It's FREE, it allows multiple files to be open at the same time (and unless you close the file, will reopen it when you start the program again). It also has color coding and blocking for programming in C. Does anyone else have a suggest...

Ok, so I started converting this function and midway into the convertion I realized that this is too intensive for our little processor. It uses too many floating point computatinal calculations and I'm pretty sure it will exceed the 1K RAM we have. I think our best option would be get the times fo...

Can you provide the algorythm to calculate the rise/set of both moon and sun?

What size tubing do the adapters use?

Description says:
"4 plastic tubing adapters and 2 silicone tubings with 0.15" OD"

How long are the 2 silicone tubings and the tubing adapters?
