No. But I tried on my laptop on El Capitan and it did not work.

Try this code:

Code: Select all

void setup()
{
}
void loop()
{
}

Just tried upload the code above and got the following error

avrdude: stk500v2_command(): unknown status 0x01
avrdude: stk500v2_disable(): failed to leave programming mode

Expansion hub and expansion module. The one that allows for an set of relays to plug equipment into.

So I have tried running the controller with just the dimming expansion no bus lock. I tried running the controller with the expansion hub and dimming module- bus lock. Expansion hub and expansion hub- bus lock. This leads me to think that maybe my expansion hub is bad. I noticed the led on the expan...

Just tried with the board set to Reef Angel Controller and serial port set to /dev/tty.usbserial-A901MIKW. I got the following error: The following features were automatically added: Watchdog Timer Version Menu The following features were detected: Dimming Signal Wifi Attachment Relay Expansion Modu...

I will have to try when I get home later tonight. I will post once I try.

You've got the wrong board configured if this is an RA+. It's saying you only have 32k available which means it's looking for a standard board. I have been using Reef Angel Controller w/optiboot. Should I use Reef Angel Plus Controller? Sorry for the dumb question. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapata...

I ordered some new USB cables in hopes that this fix the issues I am having.

But I am curious as to why I can't it hangs when trying to upload code to the controller.

RA+

Does i0t hangs on 90% on any code? Try this code: void setup() { } void loop() { } I get the following when trying to upload the code above: The following features were automatically added: Watchdog Timer Version Menu The following features were detected: Simple Menu Binary sketch size: 466 bytes (...

So no bus lock. I tried to upload code to the controller with only connected to USB and it only gets to 90% and then hangs. Also one the channels on my dimming expansion quit working.

I tired to upload it with it connected to both VGA and USB. I have never tried to do it any other way.
I know its not the dimming module as my lights dim and turn on/off normally.

What are causes of bus lock?

So I tried uploading the preloaded code and get the same results. Also when I came home my lights were off, the light on the expansion module was off, the red light on the RA was blinking, and the screen was cycling between all menus.

I will try tonight when I get home from work.

So the cable to the expansion module was the issue. But still can't upload my code.

So I disconnected everything and tried my dimming module on its own connected directly and it worked. I also checked both relay boxes as well. So I know its not the dimming module or the relay boxes.. I noticed that the light on the expansion module does not light up. : ( Also of note is that the ti...

Use a wifi module and connect using wifi.

Just wanted to post a quick note - love this fix! I'm using the same feeder, and this has enabled me to travel out of town for 3 weeks. Thank you! Had to make a few changes to the code, however. Timer is actually TimerClass now as near as I can tell. I cut that part out while debugging the code. I'...

My RA+ is turning my lights on at the wrong times and won't respond to commands via portal or the app on my phone. I tried reseting the time and making sure my connections are tight. What else can I check? I will probably reload my code when I get home.

I have two litermeter pumps and have it pump water in/out 150 times a day. What you need to is see how much each water pumps per unit of time. Then you can calculate how long each pump needs to run and how many times a day you need it to turn on in order to change the desired amount of water. I have...

As far as the alk, don't worry, I think I'll be fine. At least my pH alarm caught it. I spiked to 8.6. I would have gotten to it sooner too if I wasn't also testing new code since I thought the alert was from a few of the power cycles. Glad I took a closer look! 2 strange requests if it's not to mu...

That is exactly what I would like to do. I also would like to be able to initiate the feeding mode by choosing the mode on my phone. I also do not know how to turn on a relay port to trigger my timer. Many thanks for fixing the code for me.

if (ReefAngel.Relay.isMaskOn(Box1_Port8)) if (ReefAngel.DisplayedMenu!=FEEDING_MODE) feedStart=false; // Reset the flag... if (ReefAngel.DisplayedMenu==FEEDING_MODE && feedStart==false) { feedStart=true; // So we don't start the timer more than once per feeding mode. feedTimer=now(); // We'...

I actually figured it out. I forgot to plug in the power cord into the relay box. I feel real dumb right now.

I tried switching VGA cables and it still does not work.

The VGA cable is connected to the relay box

I am reconnecting my Reef Angel after a short bit of storage and noticed that the LED on my Relay Expansion module does not light up. I have changed the USB cables and power cords. Is there something I am forgetting to check to fix this?

It looks like you already have the pumps being turned off during feeding mode. Are you wanting to create a completely separate feeding mode (like feeding mode 2 or alternate feeding mode)? No I just want to be able to enter feeding mode automatically and trigger my feeder. I would need for it to be...

Just an update. I think I have this working but the time is out as we are in Australia. Does anyone know the best way to adjust to match Brisbane time? Also anyone done any coding with storms using the dimmer expansion? Thanks. Their is a way to have storms using dimming expansion but the code is u...
