I have been following for quite a while now, and often confused (coding isn't an area I have any knowledge in really, bought the controller from another guy who lied about setting it up for me and screwed me over royally....) :( Just wondering though, are you setting LED's to follow like a sun path ...

Ok cool I am just glad to know I didnt screw something up LOL!!!!!!!
Any idea on a release date?

Thanks again for all your help Roberto!

Well I got my drivers in today so I have been able to give this a shot with the actual lights finally.... Recoded it to the new code you gave me Roberto (tested it off the controllers PWM port to tune the driver, got one tuned in (meanwell 60-48P) ran fine at 100% (@760mA).... plug it into the PWM m...

Just to make sure, that is supposed to go in my RA/ pde code correct?

Here is the internal memory code for the PWM module: InternalMemory.PWMSlopeStartD_write(15); InternalMemory.PWMSlopeEndD_write(100); InternalMemory.PWMSlopeDurationD_write(60); InternalMemory.PWMSlopeStartA_write(15); InternalMemory.PWMSlopeEndA_write(100); InternalMemory.PWMSlopeDurationA_write(60...

ReefAngel.PWM.ActinicPWMSlope(); ReefAngel.PWM.DaylightPWMSlope(); The code above is supposed to create a PWM slope on both actinic and daylight channels. They are not a constant 100% To make them constant 100%, use this: ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(100); ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight(100); I have the slo...

Ok, here is the new RA code /* The following features are enabled for this File: #define WavemakerSetup #define DateTimeSetup #define MetalHalideSetup #define DisplayLEDPWM #define StandardLightSetup #define SaveRelayState #define WDT #define PWMEXPANSION #define CUSTOM_MAIN #define COLORS_PDE */ #i...

With the watchdog timer on, will that cause my lights to potentially pop on/ off? That was my initial reason for not wanting to turn that on as my wrasses freak out and I don't exactly want my delicate leopards to do that

Drivers are not connected since I still don't have them. I did have the new module plugged in today, and the led inside still lights up FWIW. The ballast themselves, no. Power cords for the ballasts yes, those are plugged into the relay box as I am running t5's on the tank now. Also, now I am notici...

I haven't pulled them on the new board to check yet, but I am going to assume that if I pull the jumpers like on the old one the problem will stop like it did on the last one since it is the same issue. I am guessing the reasoning behind this would be that w/ the jumpers removed the display board do...

Well, the problem with the screen freezing up has returned. It only happens when my lights should turn on/ or off (I am thinking it may be related to the led code as I notice it around when they should come on, ramp up or down or shut off. Here is my internal memory code: // Autogenerated file by RA...

Did a board/ module swap a couple hours ago and everything seems fine now

And problem was solved by slightly loosening the cable from the relay box to the display unit..... yeah I don't get it either lol

But I got all my code reloaded and seems to be ok now. Also the LED on the PWM module is lit up now as well!

Well I decided to try to delete EVERYTHING, did that, now its claiming its loading fine w/o error.... but its not changing anything!

When I upload the new RAgen memory code it doesn't give me the screen to upload the pde code, and uploading either code does not change anything!

I even came in here, grabbed my old code that wont load, tried a new one through RAgen that won't load... well the ino wont for same error... but I am able to do a regular RAgen code... but will that work doing it like that... power outage will reset defaults or something wont it?

Ok so I had to replace my main board, and pwm module.... so I had to redo all this code.......... and now its not working right and throwing errors! And I am just trying to upload the Initial Memory code :( #include <ReefAngel_Features.h> #include <Globals.h> #include <Time.h> #include <OneWire.h> #...

Yes, even with the module unplugged it is freezing the controller. However since I removed the jumpers from inside the display unit, the issue seams to be gone.

I have decided to remove the jumpers and see if this is the cause as I never had an issue until I installed these.

I just plugged the module in, and hooked it to the relax box usb connection. The green led under the cover on the module is still unlit as well.

Which did not make any difference, it still froze. When it freezes the screen whatever was on/off at the time gets frozen in that state as well.

I did not have the issue until I connected the jumpers inside the controller.
yes.
relax box usb connection.

I don't have the pwm module connected right now as I am waiting on the drivers for my leds still.... could this be the reason? I just have the jumpers inside

Ok, so the issue with it freezing is back again. I don't get it

I must have had the jumpers on wrong or not connected tightly or something because I took the display unit apart late lastnight removed and reinserted the jumpers and power cycled the unit and it has been fine since.... power cycling before only worked for a little while it has been several hours no...

Ok well now I have a new issue since adding the PWM module.... Everytime the controller "goes to sleep", or after I do something (like feed mode) it will freeze up and the only way to "wake it up"/ make it functional again is to unplug it and plug it back in..... I have wrasses t...

W/O having a way of checking if there is an output right now it wouldn't benefit me to upload that code currently then correct?

I have a code for the PWM module already in the controller, and I manually set it to 100 from the head unit/ menu but it still did not light up. I don't have a way of checking output right now. Putting the above code into the RA will be kind of tough right now, maybe later tonight I can pull it all ...

I just got my PWM module the other day, hooked it up to the wall plug, and the outlet relay through the usb connection, put the jumpers in the display/ head unit.... I don't have my drivers yet, so I can't tell if it is working or not, but when I remove the little cover on the module the green light...

I got the new libraries and set it all up this morning.... works exactly how I wanted it to now!!!! Thank you so much Curt and Roberto for all your help I really appreciate it guys! I will have some more to do when I get my leds I think, but I dont think I can mess with that much until I actually ge...

It's probably not on the download page yet. Roberto has to update his installer. To update the libraries, use the library update utility: http://forum.reefangel.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2 Once you run the program and update your libraries, you will need to simply re-upload your code to your cont...

There's an app that Dave & I were working on to function exactly like you were talking. It has the usb cable connected to the controller and the computer. The program is a simple java app that is a webserver that listens for commands and then relays them to the controller's builtin webserver. I...

Although I've never tried, you may be able to use a serial-to-TCP application on your laptop. This would let you connect remotely, but it would not give you the Portal interface. I was actually thinking maybe the cable that came with the RA unit that we use to upload the codes could be used to do w...
