I've been using 2x RW-15's in replacement of WP-40's for around 6 weeks and they work fine with the the RA. Just a couple of observations. At first they don't seem as powerful as the wp's but the flow is much wider and not as focused. My wp's needed cleaning every month as calcareous build up used t...

Ok, I started a branch and added in all the framework to do the flexible orp calibration... now the function just needs to be written. I have to back out a little bit because it's quite a large function with lots of drawing, etc. Maybe phrusher wants to get involved :) or if anyone else wants to gi...

Sorry i have not had any time to put something together for this.. Sorry no pressure just wanted to register interest :-) I raised this a while ago and didn't like the idea of messing with the libraries, especially after reading so many posts that said it wasnt wise. Thanks for the reply though :-)

Hi
I would be really interested in this as well, I have found it impossible to get the 470mv calibration fluid in the uk, some say they can get it but 2 months on nothing.

Why is the WP settings and pwm in the wizard it doesnt seem to make sense to me in the standard setup, unless of course your able to choose whether you have the additional dimming attchmant?
Wouldn't only adding pwm if the attachment was chosen save room in the sketch
Or am i missing something!

I noticed the same issue when moving to v1.0.9. Using the new library function I have been testing a WP-25 on an original RA board (32,225 bytes memory) with my standard build. I found that both the new ReefAngel.DCPump.DaylightChannel , ReefAngel.DCPump.ActinicChannel and .DCPump.LowATOChannel , c...

I have not added anything to the standard script, so forgive my ignorance but these items you mentioned are safe to remove?

Hi

I ran the update tonight and ran the wizard, included the dc pump setting and entered my wp40 settings and when I tried to update I got a "Sketch to large error"

I have a standard RA

Thanks

What an excellent idea

Gotta get me one of those

HI

Just installed the 0.9.2, it picked up the portal and labels straightaway, also picks up my relay expansion no problem.

The look of the download screen is a big improvement and will have a play with the app once I get home from work.

Thanks for all your efforts, much appreciated.

What happens when you place both ph and orp in the same cup of tank water? Hi again I have uninstalled everything on the PC and cleaned out all the cached info, reinstalled the latest version. Then started again with the ra restoring all preinstalled data, changed the power supply sockets and the r...

What happens if you place the ORP in the tank and the pH probe in a cup of tank water? Hi Roberto The pH rises again. But I tried the ORP probe connected to the expansion module via USB but didn't connect the power supply to the ORP module and when I put the probe back in the sump the pH reading dr...

The ORP PSU is plugged into the relay box that's connected to the ra. Do you think that's the cause ???

Does it read correctly when you place inside the calibration solution? Hi I don't pretend to know how the orp and the ph probes interact but they were both in my sump, if I take the orp probe out of the sump the ph reading rises, I have recalibrated the ph and although its reading a little high it ...

ANy chance that uninstalling the software and deleting all folders and starting again may help?

Just a thought.

Does it read correctly when you place inside the calibration solution? It did when I checked emmediately after I left the calibration. its now reading 4.60 It may seem like a stupid remark but the ph readings were all spot on until I changed the screen and added the orp, since then they have been h...

You have a space where you shouldnt... ReefAngel .UseFlexiblePhCalibration(); After ReefAngel. Haha is the error that simple. You live and learn, and I copied and pasted that line Thanks Inevo will correct and try again After removing the space and uploading I was able to go through the calibration...

After ReefAngel.

Thanks Inevo will correct and try again

The code looks good. When you go into calibration now, you will see that you can move the joystick into the pH 7 and pH10 values and change it to another one. I have tried the code as described twice but it has no effect, when I chose ph calibration and then move the joystick in any diection it jus...

I think you will find this thread very helpful for controlling the WP-40 powerheads.

Opps I hit enter too soon. Here is the thread.

Thanks have been reading it (and trying to follow) Roberto kindly pm'd me with the link

When I tried this code it had no effect, have gone back to preinstalled code and will try it again

That worked brilliantly and taught me a bit too, do you thnk that dropping the speed to zero over long periods could cause wear on the pumps? I remember having 2 sicce voyager pumps and over a period of time they would not start up and you ended up having to change the impellers. Just a thought but...

Yes, you can add this to setup: ReefAngel .UseFlexiblePhCalibration(); phrusher has developed this for us :) Thanks Hi Wrong thread for this but as the conversation started here! I have tried the insert above with no effect, I presume that with this addition you can select the start and end point f...

This is easier: #define JebaoDuration 20 #define JebaoMin 0 #define JebaoMax 30 byte Jebao=(now()%(JebaoDuration*2)<JebaoDuration?JebaoMin:JebaoMax); ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(Jebao); ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight(Jebao==JebaoMin?JebaoMax:JebaoMin); Change what's in the define section And what do I do a...

Sorry Roberto how does that code work the parameters, just so I can tweak it

Thanks

We can code it differently to get the same results in order to go down to zero.

Thanks. For what I have in mind that would be very useful
