Here's how I do it on windows. For everything below replace %userprofle% with your actual path like c:\users\KRavEN 1. Uninstall any IDE including RA. 2. Go to %userprofile%\AppData\Local and delete Arduino15 directory 3. Install RA IDE 4. Go to %userprofile%\AppData\Local and rename it to ArduinoRA...

I meant is there a way to manually set the Wifi address on the http://forum.reefangel.com/portal.php page. Mine has never been anything but blank.

I'll debug it and see what I can work out.

Is it possible to enter a url to manually set your portal wifi address without going through the wifi setup utility? I can reach my RA from the net with the RA app and via browser so port forwarding is all working properly.

I tried with the jumper on but no dice

I'm looking for the sketch to restore the I2C eeprom with the images for feeding, waterchange, etc... I found an old sketch on the google groups called AllIconLoad.pde and I modified it for the new Wire library but I'm still just seeing a black box when I have #define DisplayImages in ReefAngel_Feat...

Yeah, I just saw it. I'll PM you with my info.

I'll be going with a few others from DFWMAS

No, it's using internal memory. The RA code is a good place to learn how things are happening but there's a lot more to the base RA than just a mega. It also has RTC, 8 port digital I/O expander, LCD, one wire, LED's, joystick, and pH. If you want the RA code to run on your platform you'll have to r...

About to start testing this method and wanted to get some feedback. Here's the method and then I just call setATO(); in the loop. uint8_t atopump = -1; void setATO(){ // If waterlevel is greater than 60 if(ReefAngel.WaterLevel.GetLevel(1) > 60) { // if the pH is greater than 8.2 then top with RO if(...

I don't have much experience with apple but it sounds like a problem with the driver for the USB TTL cable.

Communication error you're getting indicates that the RA isn't responding to the serial commands telling it to reset and go into programming mode. Most likely the problem is with the connection between the computer and the RA via the USB TTL cable if the RA is working normally when connected to the ...

Well, WL port 4 has never been hooked to anything so if I could isolate that on the portal web chart I can see the swings.

I'm in Dallas, we get huge low pressure systems and thunderstorms and the barometric pressure can swing quite a bit. I originally though maybe I was getting bubbles in the tube causing the pressure to rise so I hooked up 2 tubes in different areas of my sump and they both track within 1-2% of each o...

Looks great so far Roberto! I see you have the code in Github now so I want to help contribute. :) Could we use github issues to collaborate or would you prefer a new development thread here? It would be great to have a new github issue for each known bug and each unimplemented or planned feature to...

The salinity I would store in DI water. The pH probes that I've gotten from china recently have arrived in a pH 10 solution but the Hanna guide says use pH 4 or pH 7. Check the Hanna guide for ORP because I don't have any experience with them. Here's the Hanna guide http://www.hannainst.com/usa/elec...

I've been running the 4 port waterlevel ATO for a while now and I've noticed that my level goes up or down depending on the barometric pressure. If I had last calibrated while we had a high pressure system in my area and then a storm comes through the difference can be a couple inches. This makes se...

I'll look at the docs for the chip when I get a chance but it looked to me like you had unintentionally set a default pwm value to all the channels. When testing the chip I was able to write a new value and then read it back to verify it was set properly so your lights should dim properly when you f...

Roberto is selling them here http://www.reefangel.com/order.aspx

I had done code for this in one of my branches a while back if you want to use some of what I did. https://github.com/brunnels/Libraries/tree/d973d13b657e7bfd1a1170a4688387f47c55e647/RA_PCA9685 Also changes to Globals and InternalEEPROM https://github.com/brunnels/Libraries/tree/d973d13b657e7bfd1a11...

Strange coincidence maybe but my pH was reading normal last night and yesterday. Today it's reading 1.0. I tried rebooting/power cycling the RA and rinsing the probe in RO water. No change. Next I'm going to hook the probe to a pinpoint monitor and calibrate with that to make sure the probe is good....

Well, without the cable there's no telling. It could have other hardware issues. Worse case you're paying $75 for a new RA+ mainboard and $30 for a new LCD so make sure the price he's selling justifies your risk, time, and effort. Did you already check out the relay box? Does it have the cable? Will...

Yes, the screen is replaceable but that behavior doesn't mean that the screen is bad. It could just need to be flashed with a good sketch.

Make sure you can upload a sketch to it. Even if not you might be able to recover it with a USBasp.

You can set a password on it. Also possible you accidentally clicked the ATO manual override when you were using the web interface. More plausible than someone maliciously accessing your RA and knowing to dump your ATO. Perhaps Roberto would consider adding a new feature to confirm manual override?

Great, thanks Roberto.

I had come up with something similar using sprintf to add each value to the 2 buffers but I'm betting yours will use less memory.

I'll do some testing to see what uses the least sram.

Wondering if anyone could help me out with the most efficient way to do what I'm wanting. Trying to take a single bit that I'm using to hold bitbang values and convert to two char arrays. I'm doing it now with String methods but I want to avoid String because of memory requirements. Here's an exampl...

It doesn't specify that it's AC but I'm betting it is. AC is easy, no worry about polarity. Just cut the end off a 3 prong computer power cord or similar and strip back a couple inches of the outside sheath. Inside should be a white, black, and green wire. The white and black are your hot lines, the...

Sad but sweet. Out with the old in with the new. The king is dead, long live the king. :lol: Congratulations Roberto on your prior success with the RA. This is a great move forward and will allow you to concentrate on adding new features and squashing bugs rather than trying to ensure backward compa...

Okay, now I understand. It's done in ReefAngelClass::InitCustomLabels(): #ifdef RelayExp for (int a=1;a<=MAX_RELAY_EXPANSION_MODULES;a++) for (int b=1;b<=8;b++) CustomLabels[(a*8)+b-1]=String("Port "+ String(a) + String(b)); #endif // RelayExp So "String("Port "+ String(a) +...

So I'm using the example from CustomMainScreen_PowerControlExpansion and I was wondering if the relay expansion port labels are supposed to display starting at "Port 11" going through "Port 18"? I understand why it's happening. #define Box1_Port1 11 in Globals.h. I'm just wonderi...
