Reef Angel Forum

I was able to upload using the Bluetooth adapter. However, I am now seeing tons of trailing random characters on the display. Seems as if it’s using uninitialized character buffers for strings. Could it be that the prior version automatically initialized allocated buffers and that the new version re...

That seemed to do it. I am now able to compile. Will try to upload using the Bluetooth adapter when I get home tonight. Thanks!

Screenshot of folder structure:

It's definitely picking up the dev libraries, FWIW, since the call to ReefAngel.StandardHeater1() is working. The older libraries did not support this call. I believe they required ReefAngel.StandardHeater().

Yes, it’s the location where I put the dev libraries. Here’s the structure:

/Users/sbidny/Documents/Arduino 1.8.6/libraries/

I will grab a screenshot when I get a chance as well.

No luck. If I remove the line ReefAngel.CloudPortal(); from the function void loop() it compiles.

OS X. I believe I am using the latest dev branch and have placed it in the correct location. Will try again.

And now, after using IDE 1.8.6, I'm getting... /var/folders/3m/3bb43tld2fj36jzpj5p4ry780000gs/T//cc1YIvJ2.ltrans2.ltrans.o: In function `main': cc1YIvJ2.ltrans2.o:(.text.startup+0xef4): undefined reference to `ReefAngelClass::CloudPortal()' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status exit status 1 Er...

I’ll give that a shot...

It seems you may have broken this out from the original thread. Not sure it’s going to make as much sense without the original context. Some of us are trying to use cloud WiFi but still want to upload using the Bluetooth adapter. The web wizard doesn’t support the Bluetooth adapter. And the IDE does...

The IDE. Trying to use cloud WiFi and upload using the Bluetooth adapter via the IDE.

I have tried pulling down the dev branch, and I am seeing the following compiler errors, which prevent me from even attempting an upload: In file included from sketch_nov23a.cpp:31: /Users/sbidny/Documents/Arduino/libraries/ReefAngel/ReefAngel.h:305: error: a brace-enclosed initializer is not allowe...

But that’s the problem. The web wizard is using the dev branch, which works with the cloud portal. The 1.1.3 libraries don’t support this in Arduino. And the web wizard doesn’t support the Bluetooth adapter. Just a few posts above, it sounded like copying the dev branch locally was causing a bunch o...

But how do you suggest we do this if we use the Bluetooth adapter for upload?

Any further way to debug, other than hooking it up to the controller?

Is anyone able to help out here? What additional debugging can I do? Can anyone point me to another thread, for example? I really need this module working in order to move my project forward. Thanks.

Got it. Thanks!

But both the USB cable to the relay expansion and the SVGA cable to the relay box are after the (expansion) hub.

Thanks. Will do. Can I ask why?

Maybe a strange question... Is it best (e.g., less cross-talk, better over longer runs, more shielding) to run a long VGA cable from the relay box to the relay expansion and a short USB cable to the expansion hub? Or would it be better to run a long USB cable from the hub to the relay expansion and ...

Well, for those of you who are curious, I tested this yesterday, and it appears the USB port is unusable on the relay expansion.

Anyone have any thoughts? I picked this expansion module up from another reefer, but it's the old style (v1.0) and has no exterior labels. Looking at the "documentation" for the I/O expansion on the website, it shows that it now has a DC connector input. However, this older style module on...

If I connect a second relay box via a relay expansion off of an expansion hub connected to the primary relay box, is the open USB expansion port on the second relay box usable for an additional expansion module?

Thanks,

I have one side of the switch in I/O port 0 and the the other side connected to ground, so yes, it should close to ground. I have also tried just jumping between the I/O port and ground, and I still see no indication of it working. With the I/O expansion connected and no switches attached, should al...

Hello, I have an I/O expansion that I can't seem to get working as expected. The chip is the 328P, which, I believe, indicates this is a v1.0 module, correct? When I load up the I/O expansion example code and hook up a float switch to one of the inputs, I don't seem to see any change to the status o...

I've had problems with the stability of my salinity probe since I first received it. I tried moving it to more temperature stable parts of the sump, and I tried to remove any possible air bubbles. However, now it only registers a salinity of 5.9, which I believe is indicative of an error. If I try t...

Definitely using the 5-wire cable between the Bluetooth adapter and the Reef Angel unit. Just tried on Windows, and I'm seeing the following after the blue LED turns on: avrdude: Version 6.0, compiled on Apr 6 2012 at 19:29:19 Copyright (c) 2000-2005 Brian Dean, http://www.bdmicro.com/ Copyright (c)...

Yes. The blue LED flashes briefly before switching back to green. Then the blue LED turns on again for a longer time. However, the controller never reboots.

I am going to give it a shot on a PC laptop next.

I have not tried Coolterm yet. I'll take a look.
