Reef Angel Forum

Yeah sounds like a loose connection being rocked. I always have temp sensor issues when jiggling things. If the monitor is off it won't cut out and initialize badly Few years ago, I started with RA..I added a 2nd relay unit, later, I upgraded the board to a RA+. Now, the 2nd relay unit is not conne...

The issue is because you have this line after overriding the DelayedOn. ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port5,11,0,20,0 ); // skimmer I would remove that and wrap the delayed on with a time check if (hour() >= 11 && hour()<20) ReefAngel.Relay.DelayedOn(Port5,1); As i mentioned, the command works,...

One important detail, it's doesn't do it if the screen is already in standby and the wifi module is connected, only when the screen is on, it triggers the rebooting chaos

It's not doing it when i connect the usb cable. I have the feeling it has to do with wifi module; it is preventing the lcd from going in standby, some incompatibity between my old RA+ and the newer firmware.

Thanks, it worked.
Any idea about my 2nd question, when the lcd reboots itself, it goes from normal, blank, blank & line... etc when the wifi module is connected?

Please let me know how to delay a port restart (if it was ON) after entering feeding/ water change mode. This is my code, if port 5 was on before feeding/water change, I'd like to delay it for 1 min, until the water level in the sump gets back to normal high. Right now, this command does nothing, no...

Any idea why the screen goes in a loop mode when I connect the wifi module?

Hello, As I mentioned in my previous post, I haven't used my RA+ in a long time. Not sure if it's from new firmware or not, but when i connect the wifi module, the screen goes in a loop from blank => wierd lines => normal mode etc If the screen is off when I connect the wifi, everything seems ok unt...

It looks like the top button(board level) of the joystick was rusted. A drop of progold recovered 80% of its functionality. I have to press it a few times until it engages but it's working.

First of all, I haven't used the RA in aprox 1-2 years. So, last night, I've downloaded the RA software and used the wizard to customize the RA for my new cube. Well, I welcome the "2014" menu but nothing happens when I press the joystick, only when I move it to left/right. I have no idea ...

Look what happend when it ran out of kalk + vinegar.
I left home for a couple of days and i forgot to refill the kalk+v container. When I realized why the pH was dropping I turned on an air pump to push more air into the skimmer. It helped for a while...but it was not enough.

For the past 24h the dosing worked great.

Anyway, lets disregard this idea for now. It doesn't make too much sense in practice. What's the safest way to dose kalk via Box1_Port7 if the ph drops below 818 but I also need a time out and a waiting period similar to the ATO function? I built this code for now, is it ok? It will dose kalk for 20...

Got it. Thanks. At least I can monitor the parameters. I'm looking forward for the next version.

It works but it needs more tweaking. If pH <=818 & ATO ON then the ATO controls the Kalk pump but if during this process ph>818 and the ATO still on, it stops pumping kalk and it doesn' start pumping fresh water without manually resetting the ATO sensor On/OFF This is the existing code: if (Reef...

Right, Inevo. Perfect. Roberto. Thanks. I'll give it a try asap.

Maybe I'm over complicating things. Maybe I should stay with the classic dosing method.

For the past weeks i switched from dosing Ca & Alk to dosing Kalk + vinegar solution. Now that the Ph probe is working properly with the new RA plus board i'd like the ato sensor(s) to control the kalk + vinegar dosing pump instead of water if the ph is lower than lets say 8.1 This the current c...

Any update?
I finally fixed my RA and everything works great but the ios app.

Is there anything I can help you with? I have access to an iMac running the latest Mac OS.

Thank you Roberto. It works great. I appreciate it

I upgraded the RA 6.1 board to Plus 2.1 and I was able to upload the custom program but the LCD is blank (sometimes I see a white horizontal line but it works fine with the old board) and during upload of the memory program the compiler displays the following error: "The following features were...

I didn't know about this. Thanks

Thanks for your suggestion. Where can I find more info about Overnight vs normal mode or can you help me re-write the code please?

Also, since the latest library update, without modifying the code, I can't upload it to RA anymore, size too big. here is the old code, including the wifi module. Is it possible to make it smaller, without losing the main functions? I'm not using the pH sensor anymore, so pH related code can go. /* ...

Thanks Roberto. Great support. I appreciate it.

I thought the last digit is for time-out in minutes.
How can I setup the ATO pump timeout, if the ato pump is on for more than X minutes to turn on the red light and to shutdown the ato pump?

Today I realized that the ATO has stopped working. I did the followings: - replaced the ATO sensor with a brand new one. - checked the ATO pump - checked the power box plug: moved the ATO setup from box1_port2 to box1_port8 - if I unplug/plug the power of the RA controller, the ATO system works unti...

Thanks a lot.

I reinstalled RA and reloaded the code. There are the following issues: 1. no more size issues just " “No Internal Memory Found". So I loaded the Initial Mem Settings which I simplified later. 2. at 77.5F StandarFan kicks on/off for 1 sec, very very annoying. If I artificially increase the...

Hello Roberto, If you can please: 1. help me clean my code and please let me know what variables to remove from mem and from the main code. For example I don't use the pH probe anymore. Why do I have so many powerslope variables in the mem code? 2. after upgrading to the latest libraries the code go...
