"controller test code"

Where can I find it, what and how to do it to post back?

So I can assume the dimming expansion module is "as is" ?

any work around possible with 0 Volts to ram up to 10V and back to 0 Volts on the dimming module?

does the number of digits for zero's have anything to do with it?
{0 -or- 00 -or- 000}
right now is 3.40 pm in my PC and the RA+ is late 3 minutes (last time they were synced 3 days ago), today I am running the slope from the same program above

ch0 = 00
ch1 = 000
ch2 = 800
ch3 = 77
ch4 = 0
ch5 = 980

How you mean "time is set properly"?
AM and PM is right, the RA clock is in sync to PC, what else is there?

18 minutes after midnight, a quick look at the RA+

ch0=0 10.64 Volt on the expansion module port
ch1=0 10.64 V
ch2=0 10.64 V
ch3=00 5.78 V
ch4=000 8.6 V

Is this normal? Also, finding it interesting the number of zeros........

sorry not #5 3 and 4 have one of each power cables running to 2+2 ELM's, {I did rewiring the ELM 60-40 drivers for a manual overdrive for case of emergency and when I finished then I noticed the #3 and #4 powercable swap inside the box, didn't wanted to re-solder again so I just moved the timing.......

this last code just couple posts above
#4-5 relays powering the 2+2 dimmers, and these are the four channels from 0-3 feeding the LEDs
(4 is a moonlight and the 5 would be the a cooling fan but the dimming module can't give enough Amps)

I am noticing, in relative to the time of the day the display shows either 0 or 100% and nothing in between... at this moment I am testing the parabola, one day, the other day the slope (btw the LED's are ramping up in the morning, it is visible how the light increases whenever I am passing by, but ...

will the BT do monitoring as well or only loading codes?

I have two boards, RA and RA+

Turned out I have ended with an extra RA and RA+ controller board, I may not have further use for these.

rimai, binder THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT HELP all uploads working, testing now for the functionality including the code for future reference #include <ReefAngel_Features.h> #include <Globals.h> #include <RA_Wifi.h> #include <Wire.h> #include <OneWire.h> #include <Time.h> #include <DS1307RTC.h> #include...

mind you inserting it for me, not sure I can follow you entirely, and thanks in advance

In this code yes it may have some numbers as you sad 40, but I have tried zeros. In the morning the dimming can start from zero=or very low dim but at evening when the dimming goes down towards zero the display shows the lowest value but the LED's are still up on some higher level not on low dim.......

I forgot to say this earlier, until I was waiting for my RA+ replacement board I needed to run my LED's with MeanWell 60-40D, so I ordered a manual dimmer from rapidled. I built a manual overdrive for my LED fixture for next time something goes wrong again with the controller. And, Yes, the MeanWell...

dimming expansion module,
any chance to refresh, doesn't seem to me update as per the main board clock....
the LCD shows 10 or 5 or whatever low but the LED's are on most likely full bright
I power restart the system and then, then the LED's lit up to dim low

I used all Temp[T1_PROBE] instead of Temp1; Temp[T2_PROBE] instead of Temp2; Temp[T3_PROBE] instead of Temp3

gave me an error on line

DrawText(TempColor,COLOR_WHITE,x,y,"T1:");

********'DrawText' was not declared in this scope

rimai - I will try that on spare board, right now my laptop is connected to main tank ********Temp[T1_PROBE] instead of Temp1 binder - these command lines didn't gave me error on the spare board, that is good news, but // Set the Lights Overheat probe to be T1 ReefAngel.OverheatProbe = T1_PROBE; // ...

got an error at upload:

if ( ReefAngel.Params.Temp1 < lowTempValue ) { TempColor = COLOR_BLUE; }

*****"struct ParamsSruct' has no member named 'Temp1'"

DrawText(DPColor,COLOR_WHITE,x+60,y+10,"DP:");

I have managed to shift the existing text and graphics on the LCD also swap some colors. Removing the DP and AP didn't work do to an error in upload: // Parameters - does not display DP & AP ReefAngel.LCD.DrawMonitor( 15, 53, ReefAngel.Params ); pingSerial(); "No matching function to call t...

binder : - your highlights removing the entire block not only the DP / AP Question: - I got a new Temp probe to replace the old was leaking still can use it at dry ambient. No matter how I plug in now both, the old Temp probe gets to the first-top T1 always to show.... is there any internal code or ...

Hello, in mean time I did some changes, got the color naming from the libraries/RA_colors - changed the 6 chanels colors to NAVY - also toke 2 out of 6 rings still would like to learn how to center them in horizontal - how to shift the entire thing down couple pixels, because the space between the r...

I have 2 spare-extra wires in the bundle but ...can I steel somewhere within the RA units that low voltage feed for fans? so don't need an extra power adapter...

My Menu is already some sort of custom from Roberto back in 2012....
I just want to change some colors and font thicknesses, but must be coming from external files in library?....
remove the DP and AP and things like that

Any port I can reuse either from main board or relay box to power max 1Amps the two small PC fans?
Not really liking the idea I need to pull a separate power cable + any 5-10 V power adapter back to the LED fixture....

thanks,
powered up the questionable board for playing and learning curve

I have found the colors in libraries, did some changes.
I have also deleted two rings but how can I center the remaining four rings in the width?
Also, how can I change the T1-T3 colors?

Can somebody help me out with these? I would like to change some colors on main screen but don't know what are the default abbreviation/names for each... 1. - The first 3+3 channels are some orange color and I want some brighter as dark blue .or can be bolded... 2. - I have 6 I/O channels there I wa...
