Reef Angel Forum

My water level expansion has quit working. It reads zeros on the screen and when I try to calibrate it . All zeros. I tried unplugging it and redownloading my programming. Neither had any effect. Any ideas or will it have to be replaced?

Nevermind. I think I got it. It seems to work. Thanks again.

Where do I put it?

When I deleted the old code and added the new code. I got the following error message. No matching function for call to ReefAngelClass::Wavemaker1(int,int)'

I have a new problem.Since I made the change and got the time corrected. The wavemakers do not turn off during feeding mode. I tried loading the older code back to the controller and it still does not work. Ive added the code below. #include <ReefAngel_Features.h> #include <Globals.h> #include <RA_W...

Nevermind I got it. Thanks it worked.

Im not real sure where to put it. Can you look at my first entry and show me? Thanks

Where does this go? code go?

That worked as far as uploading to the controller. However it still didnt change the time on it?

It is the RA

I believe it the RA.

Here is what it says. This is at the bottom and its the closest thing I see to an error message.

avrdude: stk500v2_receivemessage() timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_getsync() timeout communicating with programmer


avrdude done Thank you

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot. The screen is split. The top is the code I'm loading. The bottom is what it's loading. In between the two screens. There is a message that says error uploading. The bottom box doesn't show an error that I see. I'll try it again this even I no when I get home and ...

All it says is error uploading.

They are communicating. I don't get the com port error. The red light flashes when I plug up the cable and when it stars trying to upload.

I noticed that the time and date on the head unit was wrong. It shows 1/2/00 3:21 Am. I tried uploading my latest code. Nothing changed. I uninstalled the RA installer and uploaded it again. Now when I try to upload my code I get the error uploading message. Any idea what I can do? [quote] #include ...

No but I will this weekend and see if that helps.

What I have noticed is. If the sensor times out. Even though I reset the ATO. The water level is screwed up. I have to do a calibration. As long as the ATO pump isnt timed out. The water level works fine. Is that something that can be fixed?

Yes I used teflon tape.

The number is 935 when out of the water. When I blow in it it goes to 2000+. Thats the same number I get when I put the PVC back in the water to calibrate. After a few days my water level percentge is different even though the water level is the same.
Thanks for the help with the font color.

I have a couple questions. 1) Since I have made this change 2 new items show on my LCD screen. DP 42 and AP 42. What is that for? 2) Can I change the salinity LCD color? It looks gold and is hard to see. Now for a problem I have encountered. I can not get the "in water calibration to stabilize....

Like this then? // Specific functions that use Internal Memory values ReefAngel.Wavemaker(Port5,60); ReefAngel.Wavemaker(Port6,120); ReefAngel.StandardHeater(Port7,757,763); // ReefAngel.StandardLights(Port8,17,0,13,0); if ( (hour()>=2) && (hour()<4) ) { ReefAngel.WaterLevelATO(Port8,360,70,...

Where do I put this code?

I am using a Reef Angel ATO pump. Can you tell me how to program it to only come on from like 2 to 4 AM ? Thanks

Are these pumps suppose to be so noisy?

Yes it turns on at 70. The problem is it times out before getting to 75.

ReefAngel.WaterLevelATO(Port8,60,70,75); // 60 seconds timeout, turn on at 70% and turn off at 75%

I had a few questions about my ATO / water level setup. It seems to be overly sensitive. My aquarium is set up over a basement. When ever we walk by it trips the ATO pump. ALso during normal operation once the water level gets low. The ATO pump runs until it trips out. Is there a way to change that?...

Where do I put this code? Im good with either one. I would like it to be variable. It doesnt have to be perfect.
