Reef Angel Forum

Roberto,

This looks really cool - but I'm not seeing a UApp for Android in the store but do see one in the iTunes store. Is there a plan to officially support Android?

To echo what Roberto said, the only way to determine output of analog vs PWM from the terminals is with an oscilloscope. A PWM output will look like a boxy on-off while an analog will be a straight line.

They definitely need to be cemented. I actually thought mine was defective when I first got it and it ended up being not-entirely-cemented somewhere.

rimai wrote:Using the multimeter is a good way.

Yep, it was toasted. Wish I knew how or why, because I literally just swapped the old out for the new without changing the code or wiring and everything's working peachy. Thanks for expediting the shipping of the new one.

According to the Amazon page for the IceCap Interface Module, it's looking for a 0-10v signal. It's also Apex ready, so whatever signal the Apex system uses (PWM vs Analog, not sure) is your best bet. If I were to guess, it's probably looking for PWM, but don't take that as gospel and fry your expen...

No experience with the Maxspect, but with the Jebao, it will "sort of" work if you have it on the wrong setting (PWM vs Analog) but is kinda screwy. Are you sure that it's not expecting a different input? Is there a little electronic control box that comes with the MaxSpect? Have you measu...

I have also been troubleshooting my dimming module.

Can you test the terminals where the lighting wires connect to the module with a multimeter?

So I've been trying to get my Jebao pumps working with the dimming module and sorta-kinda had them working yesterday. Today, they're not working. I had typically just used my multimeter on the terminals to read voltage when troubleshooting, but I'm getting nothing this morning, and am afraid I may h...

sometimes there is a false reading from the sensors. it happens and then returns to normal right after that. I have code in the libraries to detect the random spikes and not report them. actually, if the temperature changes more than 10 degrees (i think, have to double check) in 1 second, that read...

Not using an extension. This is the one that came with it when I first purchased in late 2014. I additionally set up some portal alerts while troubleshooting this issue and got this portal e-mail today: Forum ID: MisterTang Current Value: 185 Temperature 1 >= 79.8 HIGH TEMP Alerts if the temp is hig...

Thanks for the ideas, binder.

You're probably right re: making changes to system libraries. I may end up having to extend them or something.

I'm still fiddling with the RF module with my Radion but making good progress. I'll post some code later next week.

In the last couple of days, my RA has thrown an "overheat" flag. The first time it happened was curious, because I was fairly certain that my tank hadn't managed to get up to 82.5 degrees when the heater is set at 78-79 and that's controlled by both the RA and the heater thermostat and my ...

The dimming module doesn't have a connector to plug into. It has screw headers that bare wires get screwed in place. Yep. I'm wondering if you know what the male version of the female connector on the Jebao cable you sell is, so I can create a quick way to connect/disconnect the Jebao cable from th...

Yes, if you have more than 2 pumps, you would connect them to a dimming expansion module. Cool. Do you happen to know what the male connector is for the Jebao cable you send? Rather than cut and strip the cable I buy from you, I'd like to have an actual harness on my dimming module that the cable p...

So the last part of my tank that isn't DC/modulated are my powerheads - I have a couple of Koralias that I'd like to pull out in favor of something that I can do more than just turn them on/off. 1.) Are the newer Jebao PP-series (PP-4 and PP-8) wavemakers compatible with Reef Angel and the Jebao con...

have you figured out what you were wanting to do? I have a couple ideas and suggestions for you but cannot respond fully right now from my phone. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk I still need to figure out where the values specified by the user in the wizard are ultimately defined. Simply put, it...

So what I have so far: Globals.h is where all the memory positions are defined. EEProm.cpp is where all of the Get/Set functions are stored for these memory positions. In "stored in memory" mode, Mem_B_StdLightsOn and Mem_B_StdLightsOff looks to be the only timer that you can define. When ...

You'll need to do something like this. I think memory locations 100-199 are available to use. Bytes, take 1 location, ints take 2, floats take 4. In globals: // Memory locations for adjusting dosing amounts. #define Mem_B_AlkDosage 100 #define Mem_B_CalDosage 101 #define Mem_B_Doses 102 #define Mem...

So one of the things I'm currently doing as I reboot tank is redo all of my RA code. Previously, I had kept all the variables "in the code" as magic numbers, but this time around, I'd like the flexibility to change light timing and stuff like that remotely, so I built a new project with th...

Thanks, Roberto, I sent a PM.

For what it's worth, the fact I'm unwilling to purchase something that isn't compatible with your controller should be a compliment

Due to constraints with the location of my new setup, I can't hang my LEDs from the ceiling. In researching light fixtures, I sort of gravitated to the Radion XR30w because it has the new handy RMS mount that clamps to the back. Unfortunately, that was about the time I searched here and found out yo...

Ahh... That's the reason they stopped selling those... Any 12vdc power supply would work. If you don't have any lying around, PM me. I didn't, but I have Amazon Prime for a reason :) I'll let you know how this one works, because you may have to alter your supply chain if Monoprice doesn't get one b...

So the power adapter on my IO Module died today... the little red light went out. I opened it up and one of the capacitors was visibly damaged. I'd like to buy a new one, but don't know the diameter and polarity of what I need. I did Google the serial number on mine, and came back with this story: h...

Good news! I think I may have finally fixed the issue, and am documenting it here for posterity. The orange insert on the PVC cap apparently was not as tight as it should be - I sealed it with superglue and have had a consistent reading for the last couple of days. Unfortunately, the soap idea didn'...

Okay, I've pulled all my custom stuff out, and am not using the dimming ports at all, and I'm still measuring the same voltage on them. This is my code as-is right now. #include <ReefAngel_Features.h> #include <Globals.h> #include <RA_Wifi.h> #include <Wire.h> #include <OneWire.h> #include <Time.h> ...

Would it help at all if I took measurements of what the DC Pump dongle was outputting through the three-prong connector?

One last one with the water level sensor and the IO module all plugged into the expansion hub:, just to prove I do know how to connect USB cables :) I2CScanner ready! starting scanning of I2C bus from 1 to 128... addr: 1 addr: 2 addr: 3 addr: 4 addr: 5 addr: 6 addr: 7 addr: 8 addr: 9 addr: A addr: B...

Yes

rimai wrote:If you change the code to 50%, what voltage do you get in the dimming ports?

The same voltage, and I did verify the screen is showing 50%.

EDIT:
Since my dimming is PWM, shouldn't it be at a steady voltage?

I have the water level expansion, but it has never worked right - the level always drops to zero after a period of time. It wasn't plugged in when I did the test - did you want me to plug it in and try again?

I also just tried a different USB cable, plugged directly into the relay.
