Sounds great! Thanks Brennyn!

Hi folks

Got back from vacation. My 2nd RA+ is kind of slowly dying - I know I could replace the MB, but maybe it's time for an update.

However, the new RA Star seems to be out of stock.

Any idea when it'll be back?

I am doing development

Or, I was ... I copied over my code into the web wizard and at least sort of got it to work.

Try using the dev branch of the github That seems better, BUT ... Then the "Dev" branch needs to be copied over, or the docs need updating. This is crazy. I copied over the dev branch to my user folder (%USER%\Arduino) and now I'm getting a ton of compiler errors. Can't quite tell if the ...

I just got the Cloud Portal. I downloaded the latest RA code, ReefAngelInstaller_1.1.3.exe. (I had 1.1.1 installed before that). Installed. Per the docs, used the WebWizard. Got a sketch. Copied it to my development machine (I use vMicro, but for this I used the RA Arduino fork executable). A snippe...

I didn't bother with the above commands, but still have a static IP What I did was go into the setup pages on my router, wait till the ReefAngel connected, then added an IP reservation for that MAC address. Every router is different so I can't really give tutorial steps, but if you don't know what I...

Code is 100% vanilla. Hard to say on the port override, that's a good idea, but I can 'see' the red light turn to green really rapidly on the ATO screen, and the relay follows. Wouldn't you know, it's not doing it now! So I can't test. Worried when I leave for 3 weeks it'll blow up and my IT guy won...

It worked OK this morning, but turns out water was a bit low. It happened again; I had to disconnect the HI ato switch. Is the ATO function supposed to continue to work when the ATO timeout triggers? That's obviously a good way to burn out a pump. Both head units did that, with the standard Reef Ang...

I'm getting a LOT of relay 'chatter' with the standard ATO programming and 2 float switches. It looks like when the water is only about halfway up, the top relay 'chatters'. It's been working fine for weeks, then suddenly the ATO power outlet sounds like a buzz saw it switches so fast. (I don't know...

Just wanted to post a quick note - love this fix! I'm using the same feeder, and this has enabled me to travel out of town for 3 weeks. Thank you! Had to make a few changes to the code, however. Timer is actually TimerClass now as near as I can tell. I cut that part out while debugging the code. I'm...

Thanks Roberto This is really weird. I managed to get it to work. I was reading the avrdude docs, and saw it can do some pretty low level stuff, so I ran the serial monitor. Typed a few chars, nothing happened. So, on a whim, I tried to reprogram it again. THIS time I was using the USB power connect...

PMFJI an older thread, but I've had it working with both the Express or "community" edition of 2013 along with the Visual Micro. The editor is SO much better than the Arduino editor - intellisense, proper indenting, jump to references, I could go on and on. I'm learning a lot just by pokin...

No ideas? Bummer. Going to check the board files.

Yep, no magic smoke on my end o.O thanks! Funny it's not documented though. Let's fix that!

Thank you,

I know this is an old thread, but there's nothing in the documentation (downloaded V2.1.5) to show where/how to plug in the USB power cable. It LOOKS like the only place is say the temperature probe, but would prefer not to let magic smoke out :) It's tiring moving the relay box over to the PC every...

Oh, I did, I grabbed the unit from work and plugged it in, and it worked fine. Good thing I had two :) Menu settings are all correct, but the unit just blinks. No display, no nothing. So that's the only option, there isn't a reset key or something? I haven't looked at the board files yet, but I'm pr...

It won't seemingly boot up, and the status light just blinks. I've tried resetting to the standard code, but the upload never starts. This happened while doing an upload - I'd gotten a serial error as near as I remember. I was moving pretty fast and might have done something stupid like jerked a cab...
