Reef Angel Forum

Yep, the 12 VDC power supply was the issue. I picked one up from Radio Shack and wired it up... lights came right on as normal.

I got an Enercell 12VDC, 1.5A Output and replaced the original I had with the dimmer. Worked like a charm!

I've had my Reef Angel setup for a couple years now and everything has been working perfectly until last Friday. I've not made any changes to my code nor hardware for at least a year, maybe more, so I'm not sure what is happening. I have 2 Apollo LED's that require an analog signal to control dimmin...

Cool, good to know. Thanks Steve.

Curt, I just installed and checked out version 2.0.0 - Beta 3 and here are a couple comments/feedback: 1. I love the new side panel look and feel for the menus. I think the latest 1.0 release method works well too, but the new style is more inline with all the newer Google apps and stuff so it feels...

That explains it then. I was expecting an immediate notification of some sort and only tried it for a minute or two then gave up on it.

I'll do some more testing for longer periods of time later on to see how it all works.

Thanks guys!

Hey Curt, I downloaded this new app and added a couple notifications, but not sure if it's doing anything. For example, I added a notification for: VT Nutrient Transport Mode (wanted to test to see if NTM begins after feeding mode ends... as I've added those instructions to my INO code). Parameter: ...

Lee, is that because you haven't had time to try or because you ran into issues/errors that still need to be worked out? If it's simply a matter of changing just the PMWValue variables, maybe I'll try to take a stab at it. In fact, I'll take a look at it now and see if I can figure it out. I'll repo...

Has anyone had any luck modifying this code to work on the dimmer expansion module yet?

I'm getting ready to redo my entire coding for my tank upgrade and was hoping to incorporate clouds/lightning.

Hmm, looks like the cloud/lightning code is working great for Colin... except it's only good for the standard RA dimmer ports. I have the Dimmer Expansion so I guess I'll have to keep that on hold until Lee or Colin can provide a version that works with the expansion dimmer. I think Lee was planning...

Oh, OK. Thanks for the clarification Roberto.

Thank you for your reply too Curt. I appreciate the extra insight on the dosing pump commands.

Thank you Roberto. I've been away for a while, but nothing has changed. Even after 2 years, you still provide quick responses and great service! I'll check out the links to do more research, but for now I just have 2 quick follow up questions to your replies: 5. Do the On Hour / On Minute memory loc...

I've had my RA Plus running for about 2 years now, mostly without any issues. I just upgraded from a 75G to a 120G and I've removed some pieces of equipment (due to addition of a manifold system on the return line) and added a couple dosing pumps. With the new build, I also made a side cabinet to ho...

You do have the option to show ATO LOW and/or ATO HIGH status on the controller screen of the droid app. These will tell you if the float switch is activated (On) or not (Off). What I do to check if ATO needs to be cleared is to check if the ATO relay switch is On or Off. If it's Off but the ATO LOW...

Ah, I didn't know that. They're still in the box and I haven't looked at them yet.

Thanks for the info Charlie.

I have dosers from Bulk Reef Supply, which have a 3-prong outlet plug on the end. Will I have to splice that to get this to work?

They are terminated in DC connectors, but you can cut and splice your equipment if need be. Each cable is about 20" and each channel is capable of 500mA. Was considering buying the Power Control Expansion, but I was wondering about these connectors that come with the expansion too. I know you ...

Thank you for the reply Drew, but the only thing I saw in Globals.h was: byte PWMParabola(byte startHour, byte startMinute, byte endHour, byte endMinute, byte startPWM, byte endPWM, byte oldValue); Globals.cpp has this however: byte PWMParabola(byte startHour, byte startMinute, byte endHour, byte en...

I was just curious as to what the actual calculation the parabola function performs to determine the intensity % at whatever time of day it is? Maybe I missed it, but I tried to peek at all the libraries and I didn't see it anywhere in there. From what I understand, it uses the start time, start %, ...

Nick, I've had similar symptoms with my controller screen/led blinking and I have traced it to at least 3 specific problems: 1. RF module USB connection (Since you have Koralias, I doubt this is your issue). Whenever the small USB port isn't completely secure into the RF Module, I get the issue. 2. ...

Curt, I can try to start a new thread with all the info you requested, but I don't have time to do it right now. I'm "at work" and I'd probably need to be at home where I can review my code and stuff first. I'd be happy to do the testing though once we get it rolling. Whenever I start the ...

Sneaky eh? Well, I guess I'll just wait it out for an official announcement and pretend to be surprised.

I'm using sqllite though.

Is this something we can download and play with yet or is it still in development Roberto?

Wow, great job with this everyone! I've been periodically checking this thread and waiting for a complete working package that I can add the code to my RA+ (in lieu of the dimming module as rufessor first designed this to do)... mostly so I can monitor and/or control it via the android app instead o...

Curt, is there any way you could add a status for ATO High/Low alerts to the Android App? It's great to have a way to remotely clear ATO, but it would be really helpful to know when it's needed too. that's a great suggestion. i think i started to look into it but never completed it. i was wanting t...

Hmm, I didn're realize you could use PWMSlope as a variable for other functions. That's interesting and if I ever get some free time I might experiment with this.

I'm guessing you could also do the same thing with Parabola too?

Thanks Roberto. That's what I thought it was, but just wanted to be sure.

Roberto said it measures % of the pipe and not length, so I'm guessing the pvp pipe could be changed for a shorter or longer one, with calibration of course.

Thanks for the pics Roberto. That gives me a better understanding of how it would be installed. My Tunze pump wasn't my issue, it was the controller. Since it was shot, I decided to cut/splice the power wire of the Osmo directly to the pump. The pump works whenever it's plugged in, so that was good ...
