I should also add that I am working on a generic function that uses all of the above tricks but uses memory locations for: mode: pulse, gyre usetide: true/false minspeed maxspeed pulsecycle gyrecycle I will post it the source once I get it all working satisfactory. It will be nice to switch modes an...

The tide function works pretty well actually. The transitions are much gentler than say pulse mode. Really the only two modes I used with the standard controller were gyre and pulse... For a while I was using this: forward_speed = ShortPulseMode(tide.CalcTide() -10, tide.CalcTide(), 5000, false); Th...

I don't plug my kessil's into a relay port. I plug them into a power strip and let the dimming ports control the lights. Essentially they always have power.

I'm using the Tide function to manage flow with the Maxspect/Icecap. Here is my code to make this happen: In your init: tide.Init(40,10,30); tide.SetWaveLength(12+SECS_PER_HOUR); Then call this function from your loop: void setMaxspect() { int reverse_speed=0; int forward_speed=45; if (ReefAngel.Dis...

Thanks for the response... That is the only place that channel 0 is getting set in my code. Is it possible I need to reboot my RA? BTW) Is there a way to do a reboot that does not require unplugging it?

I'm having a bit of an issue with my moonlight's. I have a Dimming module that connects to an I/O expansion module that is connected directly to the RA+. The moonlight's are staying on throughout the day even though I explicitly try and turn them off. My code is below: void setMoon() { #ifdef debug_...

Thanks Roberto,

I will give that a shot when I get home. I was thinking it might be 100% but was afraid of blowing all the sand out of my trank ;^)

Did you ever get the direction control to work? I have the additional cable and the orange wire on port 1 (speed) and the green wire on port 2 (direction). I've got my forward speed working fine but I have not been able to get the pump to go into reverse. I was under the impression (probably false) ...

@oneboss302 this is great news. I have already added WPA2 to my config but I did not disable WEP. I wonder if that is the 'secret sauce' I will try it this evening and post back here with the results. Great find!

Thanks Roberto, I am 100% certain this is a problem with the router that Verizon supplies. I have tried setting up an air port express wired to the verizon router and it did the same thing (LOST-AP error). However, when I setup the airport and do not connect it to the verizon router it works fine......

Yup, I tried the same thing (had Verizon replace my router) No go. What I am doing now is running the wifi attachment in 'Soft AP' mode. This creates another wifi network (I called mine 'reef'). When I want to use the ReefAngel App (iPhone) I switch networks and fire up the app. Everything works thi...

In looking in library/utility/compiler.h it appears the underlying board is an AVR32. Is that correct?

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has successfully used eclipse to develop code for the Reef Angel? The arduino IDE is anemic and I'm really looking for something more advanced. I found this: http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/ide/eclipse.html However, it uses something called platformio. The firs...

I was wondering the same about the apostrophe. Also it looks like you updated the firmware when you did ftp u... If so you will need to run the script in this thread http://forum.reefangel.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4601

Can you connect with terra term, enter command mode and post the results of 'get everything'. I can take a look and see if I can help.

-LeoD

Still no joy! Here is the result of 'get everything' Is there anything obvious that's wrong with the setup? get everything wifly-GSX Ver: 4.41 Build: r1057, Jan 17 2014 10:26:29 on RN-131 SSID=WiFly-GSX-a4 Pass= Linkmon=3600 Beacon=102 Reboot=0 IF=UP DHCP=OFF IP=192.168.1.201:2000 NM=255.255.255.0 G...

Unfortunately I am on a Mac... However, in my experience this happens if the baud rate is not set properly in Terra Term? What is your baud rate set at (in Terra Term)? The two that work for me are 9600 (the firmware default) or 57600. Have you tried both of these baud rates?

-LeoD

Oh boy... I never even checked this... Is it possible the documentation is wrong? When I do 'set wlan auth 2' I get:

SSID=2C49K
Chan=0
ExtAnt=0
Join=1
Auth=WPA2
Mask=0x1fff
Rate=12, 24 Mb
Linkmon=30
Passphrase=#####
EAP_Id=userid
EAP_User=peap-user

Hmmm.... I'm a bit confused about the encryption settings. When I do this: set wlan auth 4 and then get wlan here is the response: SSID=2C49K Chan=0 ExtAnt=0 Join=1 Auth=MIXED Mask=0x1fff Rate=12, 24 Mb Linkmon=30 Passphrase=##### EAP_Id=userid EAP_User=peap-user Why does auth still say MIXED? -LeoD

Thanks for the response, I actually was wondering if the expansion was really a USB (that clear's that up). My RA is about 15 feet from the access point. When I have it connected to my laptop I have literally put it 6 inches from the access point. Other than some type of interference I can't figure ...

I was thinking I could load OpenWRT on the TP-Link and plug the TP-Link into the usb expansion and communicate with the network that way? Is that a possibility? I realize I am getting into uncharted territory here. I'm struggling with trying a different access point. The way the verizon access point...

Using Tera Term and you ping your gateway address? If so it is communicating with your router.

I am still struggling with the wifi module for the reef angel. To be clear I am 100% certain that the issue I am facing is caused by my internet router (verizon) and not the module itself. More accurately the two appear to be incompatible. I find this odd as 802.11 is a widely accepted standard but ...

Tried that as well... turned off dhcp and it still looses connection to the router just the same.. Eventually I gave up out of frustration.

My issue turned out to be my verizon router (not the wifi module). I never did figure out why this was happening but when it happens I would get an AP-LOST message and the blue light would start flashing. I tried a ton of different settings to no avail... I did stop the blue light from flashing (and...

OK, I figured out the issue. It had nothing to do with the authentication. When the module first connects it authenticates fine. The issue was that my router was not responding to probes properly. I have disabled the probes "set wlan linkmon 0" and everything seems to be working fine. I wi...

I figured out that this is an issue with my home network. Still have not figured out exactly what the issue is at home. I took the wifi module into my work and hooked it up to my work network and it works fine. For anyone that is having a similar issue here are some troubleshooting tips: You can con...

Thanks for the reply, I got the Kessil 160w'w (2 of them) installed and hooked up to my RA as well. I found out the hard way about the intensity issues. Interestingly mine seem to work at anything greater than 10%. How deep is your tank? How high above your water are your lights? Mine are a bit less...
