Re: Client Suite 2.2

In the Client go to View -> Error Log

Maybe there will be something in there that can explain what's going on. The Listener, Logger and Client all write to the same log file so if one of them is acting up - should be in there.

Re: Client Suite 2.2

Did you change the "To Send" field at all? The text in there has to read exactly "GET /r99 ". Notice space between GET and "/". Also there is a trailing space at the end of the 99. A stupid question, I'm sure, but the USB TTL cable is still connected between the compute...

Re: Client Suite 2.2

Roberto, thanks for the feedback :). I never tested what would happen if you were running the incorrect libraries. Nothing good I would guess. I can add in some additional checks to disable the memory functionality if the controller doesn't return 0.8.5.15 minimum. Good suggestion! The COM port was ...

Re: Client Suite 2.2

Not sure if this is a bug or by design, but if the controller is set to read temperature in Celcius, and the Client is set to Fahrenehit, all it does is change the labels on the graph, so for example if the controller returns 25 celcius , client displays 25 F. Should it not be displaying a recalcul...

Re: PC Logging

Bryan, it might be a timing issue. If the Listener cannot open the serial port COM16 on 57600 right away, an internal timer will start for 30 seconds and then it will try again. It will repeat that process until it can lock the serial port and begin communicating. In addition to that, when you make ...

You're right, the PCLogging feature is now obsolete.

layton, the "connected" message on the statusbar just means that the Client has successfully connected to the Listener Service. It doesn't mean the Listener has, or even can communicate with the controller. If you're connecting over USB, there's a few things you have to make sure of. Insid...

The #define InstalledRelayExpansionModules 1 line is in there for good measures. It's primarily useful when you have more than one relay expansion installed. If it's not defined, I do additional checks and set it to be 1 by default if you have RelayExp enabled. Having it there is the proper way. C'...

The only issue I see : 0.75ml/m is pretty slow.
Drews dosers are 1.6 ml/m, and I had to replace those with bigger ones for my lightly stocked 200G tank.
My guess is that 0.75 ml/m is pushing it on a well stocked 50G tank.
rygh, they dose at .75ml/s ;)
