It drifts forward. It will be stable then drift again

Roberto,

My controller time keeps changing on it's own.
I've tried adding the following code to setup section:

now();
RTC.set(now());

No good. Drifts on it's own

no other devices plugged in to USB ports. I've tried quite a few times with no luck uploading.
Changed ports, rebooted, etc.
No Luck

here's another error. The following features were automatically added: Watchdog Timer Version Menu The following features were detected: Dimming Signal Custom Main Screen Extra Font - Medium Size (8x8 pixels) Extra Font - Numbers Only - Huge Font (16x16 pixels) Date/Time Setup Menu Standard Menu Bin...

How do I set the date and time to NOW when I load file

If I reboot the time is still off by 20 minutes

tried it again and it loaded. I hate intermittent problems...

yep, looks like it's running fine, then fails.
I've tried several different usb ports. Unplugged/rebooted controller.

Another error uploading. Sketch compiled correctly. I was trying to load custom main avrdude: stk500_getparm(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x18 avrdude: Send: A [41] .

Hi all, Trying to set up a basic custom menu and getting a compile error: code: ConvertNumToString(text, ReefAngel.Params.Temp1, 10); Error Cust_Main_ino.cpp: In function 'void DrawCustomMain()': Cust_Main_ino:54: error: 'struct ParamsStruct' has no member named 'Temp1' My h file: #define StandardLi...

figured it out. On COM port advanced "Set ...." was not checked.
Not sure why it went back, maybe I used a different port.

Thanks once again Roberto...

no always says com6

Keep getting the error below. Worked fine 1st time I uploaded then failed.

I's like to keep the Main Screen display on all the time instead of going black after a few minutes.
How do I do that?

thanks

Thanks, Sorry man.
Roberto on the PWM leads that came with the unit, one set has a + - wires clearly indicated.

The other has wires labeled
. . .
and
x ------ x-----

which is + and -

thanks again. You must have a lot of patience...

Help, Trying to get up and running. I have 4 meanwell eln-60-48P drivers I want to use on the two standard PWM channels. I wired the meanwell dimming wires together(2) in each group. two for daylight and two for actinic. The LEDS seem real dim. They should have been on by now. Anyway to manually ove...

Thanks Roberto.

shit, that was it. Very hard to distinguish when cursor has cancel or ok selected.
Anyway to change contrast?

stays the same. Seems like it's on PST instead of EST.

Hi all,

Timer is off by 3hrs. How do I change it?
I added this code
ReefAngel.Init(); //Initialize controller
ReefAngel.AddDateTimeMenu(); // added control 09/16/12

When I toggle to change time and click OK, the main menu reverts back to old time

yeah, . When I plug in USB cable 5 becomes enabled.

It's not related to the code. You have the black wire all the way to the right pin, correct? Does the controller reboot a few seconds after you hit upload? Can you post a pic of your connection and the error message you are getting with the new board selected? yes, https://lh4.googleusercontent.com...

tried that, still n/g. same error message

Thanks Roberto, Have it plugged in correctly now. still getting error. I have basic Reef Angel Controller. I selected that from Tools/ board. I then selected File/Upload.

Hi all, trying to get going here and had a few ? 1. Controller has 8 pin connector and USB cable has 6 pin female Where do I connect to? 2. Maybe 1 has to do with error I'm receiving when trying to upload. Keeps saying error occoured try again. "Set RTS on Close" is enabled for port 5. I'm...

My setup is getting stuck installing this driver.

I keep selecting install this driver anyways, it looks like it's trying, then brings me back to

Hi all,

Where can I find documentation for code methods along with definitions.
