The relay is only an on/off device. I don't think it would interfere with the controller, but you can replace the relays if you need it. You are right Roberto. The problem is with th gyre pump. I think it is failing. I dismantled it , cleaned it and it runs for a while and then stops. Time to repla...

I have a Maxspect Gyre attached to Port 4 on the relay box. It is on all the time. Recently the Gyre controller was not working properly. The red light flashes on the controller and the pump does not turn. If I switch off port 4 and then switch on again, the controller works for a few hours, then it...

Only the dimming ports on the first relay will work. The dimming ports on the 2nd relay will not work. You need a dimming module if you want to use any equipment to make use of the dimming functions.

Yes the RANet receiver is still installed in the wireless relay box. Will remove it and let you know how it goes.

I am getting bus locks quite frequently. The status light on the main unit flashes and the date and time settings are also off. I started having this problem after I connected the RA wireless relay box to the expnsion hub using a usb cable. My RANet wireless transmitter is faulty and I cant use the ...

You just need to power it off and back on with the cable connected.
The dimming may work the same depending on how the module was built. Send me a photo of the dimming module or check if U1 is populated.

I have a RANet wireless relay box and wireless dimming module. Both are not working now. I have a few items connected to the wireless relay box. Since the box does not communicate and sync with the main head unit, can it be connected to the main unit through an expansion hub, which is in turn connec...

I have a RANet wireless dimming module. For the past 2 days the lunar module connected to the wireless dimming module is not working. I think the dimming module is not syncing with the head unit. Can I reprogram the receiver in the wireless dimming module? I had done this to the receiver in the wire...

I have this code set for Else mode.

ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(Else,50,20);

So the pump should ramp up and down from 30% to 70%, randomly. However, mine goes from 30% to 90% . Is there something wrong with the code or is that how the pump will work?

ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(TidalSwell 55); and ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(millis();1200>750?50:0); You need 3 arguments to SetMode separated by a comma. Mode Speed and Duration. The first only has 2 and no comma and the second, that code block represents one argument and it represents a speed. Try this...

You will have lines like this in the setup section of your code ReefAngel.DCPump.ActinicChannel = Sync; ReefAngel.DCPump.DaylightChannel = AntiSync; If you want to disable one channel you can set it to None. If you want both pumps to do the same thing then set them both to Sync. I have recoded like...

They're easy if you're using the DCPump libraries already. ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(Else,midpoint,offset); Generates a random flow from midpoint-offset to midpoint+offset. For example, if you use: ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(Else,50,20); You'll get a random flow that ranges between 30 and 70. ReefAnge...

If you want to keep them on the relay box, make sure to not turn them off when on feeding or the battery is going to kick in. So if I take this off from the code: ReefAngel.FeedingModePorts = Port5Bit | Port6Bit; and keep this on: ReefAngel.DCPump.FeedingSpeed=0; it should work. Dr Davaraj

The Jebao power supplies are on port 5 and port 6 of the relay box (not wireless).

The battery backup is connected to batteries which are in turn connected to a sloar panel. Not connected to wall outlet.

davaraj

I think instead of shutting down the relay ports, you should add this to setup(): ReefAngel.DCPump.FeedingSpeed=0; ReefAngel.DCPump.WaterChangeSpeed=0; I added the above code for feeding mode, but the jebao wavemakers are still running with battery backup. I am not using the DCPump class in the cod...

I have been using the wireless relay for quite some time now. What happens is , it loses connectivity with the head unit on and off. I have sent a PM to Roberto about this. I hope he has some solution for this.

I tried switching the probe attachments to the controller. It seems to work for a while and then display...

That is awesome. How is the fallbacks set on the ports? Is it through software or jumpers? As simple as this: ReefAngel.Relay.RANetFallBackE[0]=Port7Bit; This line will turn port 7 on and all other ports off. I have the return pump on port 5 and skimmer on port 1 on the wireless relay box.

I think you should replace this:

Is there a life span for pH probes? Mine is hardly 2years old and does not register the correct pH values. I have tried to calibrate the probe with pH 7 and pH 10 buffer solutions (Milwaukee). During calibration the number keeps going up and down and does not stabilize at all. I have rinsed the prob...
