Hi All, On the coral vue site it said it can be controlled with the RA, but not sure what cable to connect to the controller. I'm assuming it is a mono channel 3.5mm cable? I have two jebao cables that I couldn't sell off, I'm wondering if I can keep the connectors and splice them into a mono cable ...

If you got them on eBay like I did, the pins were reversed on mine.

It's in the Portal, under Portal Settings. Hope that helps.

My temp probe goes bad and does this to me. Have you checked that?

You wouldn't happen to have a LEDs and T5's, would you?

Hi Roberto, I found out what's triggering this. Does the RA dimming module get affected by T5's with electronic ballast? The dimming module is controlling analog drivers for my LEDs.

any ideas roberto?

Is the dimming expansion the only expansion module?

No hub, just the dimming expansion as the only expansion module

Can you post the code you have loaded? Is it a regular wizard code? Strange part is that it hasn't changed. #include <ReefAngel_Features.h> #include <Globals.h> #include <RA_Wifi.h> #include <Wire.h> #include <OneWire.h> #include <Time.h> #include <DS1307RTC.h> #include <InternalEEPROM.h> #include ...

nope

Any input / help Roberto?

What version of dimming module do you have?
You may need to open the case and it will be written on the pcb board.

Version 1.2

Hi Roberto, Ok, this is strange, so I happen to be around all day Sat & Sun and noticed that the relay flickering on and off only happens when the the dimming occurs at higher levels. Meaning it seems like there is like a threshold at when the dimming is occurring causing this issue. At low leve...

new SVGA cable and new usb cable, still issues... any suggestions on how to test if its the relay box or the dimming module that's causing this? I know its definitely something to do with the dimming module because when I unplug the USB, no issues.

Roberto,

The cable from the relay box to the controller, that has a little bit of rust on it. Could this be the problem?

Also, can you tell me the specifics of this cable? It looks like the old VGA monitor cable, can I just pick one up at the local store and use that?

ok, tried a new cable and it went haywire. the new cable had regular silver ends vs. the ones that came with the dimming module and gold ends. is there really a difference?

Thanks. I'll try that and report back.

Roberto- going based on others experience and your suggestion, could it be a bad cable? Is it just a regular USB to mini USB for the dimming module? If so, I can swing by and get one from the local electronics store

I only have a dimming module and I recall when I first got it a year ago I had an issue with it during when my lights ramped up, but then we replaced it. Now that you mention it, it only happens when the lights are on. The USB seems to be properly seated it's not like a secure connection like on my ...

Something else to add... The controller keeps having the date/time get screwed up randomly

Not sure what's going on, ports 6&7 is constantly flickering on and off. Port 8 is dead completely now. Any ideas to what's going on? My setup hasn't changed or been touch in over 6 months.

any idea the part? and is it as simple as opening up the relay box and popping it out and putting one back in?

hi Roberto, how do you replace the relay?

my port 8 isn't working, won't turn on or anything. any instructions out there how to do it and what part I need?

Thank you very much. Every thing works!!

i think that did the trick. just to confirm, when i select custom, i'm assuming after it goes through the loop, it changes the selection based on the programming and it no longer is "custom" per say.

That didn't work, any other suggestions? It stayed on internal memory

I'll try when I get home. Thanks as always.

How do I code to memory so I can test out different modes, but at the same time be able to revert back to my custom schedule? #include <ReefAngel_Features.h> #include <Globals.h> #include <RA_Wifi.h> #include <Wire.h> #include <OneWire.h> #include <Time.h> #include <DS1307RTC.h> #include <InternalEE...
