Thanks, Sebyte. I think I see the issue. The Listener service validates that the internal memory locations from the controller match up with a defined set that the Client expects to see. This makes sure that we're displaying the correct values in the correct places on the Memory tab and also updatin...

I have installed the suite and it works well except for when I try to access the memory settings. Then I get the error message "Unable to retrieve controller memory settings. Refer to log for more details." So the error looks like the controller is returning fewer memory location/value pa...

Every 15 seconds ;) You do need a gmail account/password to proxy the notification through with the Client, though. I dont think any one method is better than the other so long as you receive the notification. You could even setup both for redundancy. If you don't have a WiFi adapter then the Client...

Great. Glad you got it working. Looks like the old (un)installer strikes again.. Hoping those days are behind us now.

tried reinstalling it no change.

What is the error you are seeing?

Well this release was a very long time coming - sorry for the delay guys. I hope to be on this board more often and keep supporting the application as best I can once things settle down a little bit around here. I recently got caught up with work/life events and in the process of buying a new house!...

Yeah, Windows 8 is an issue.. It's been part of the hold up for the next released version. I'm also having issues with getting the services to work on that platform. I know what the problem is - just don't have an acceptable easy to deploy solution for it yet. The account that the services run under...

Here's the latest screenshot. The application is almost ready to push out. I'm working on repackaging the installer to hopefully avoid some of the install issues people were having the previous versions...

The host process for the gadgets is called "sidebar.exe". You should be able to just kill the process in task manager. When you add a new gadget to the desktop it will automatically restart the sidebar.exe host process for you. Quicker than restarting

PS: If you want me to I can probably fix this if the source code is available somewhere. Is the source for this available? I would like to fix the display issue Don All the source code is embedded within the .gadget. It works similar to JAR files. Rename the .gadget extension to .zip Inside the zip...

Just a shot in the dark - do you have a MAC address filter on your router?

I liked the old format too, but the problem was that there is an increasing number of memory locations and it would become too big for one window. Maybe a tab system just like the RAGen tabs? One for standard settings like lights, heater and ato and then one for the additional settings, and then on...

Nice job on the new RAGen and write up. Your explanations were very thorough. I have to say though, I'm not a fan of the new Internal Memory form at all. The old way in my opinion had it right. Now it seems very cumbersome to modify the memory values, especially if you're changing more than 1. A lot...

Junior, have you tried this yet? http://forum.reefangel.com/viewtopic.php?p=2599#p2599

Is there a time frame for making the status of the expansion relays work again with the 1.9 libraries? Don Sorry for not updating this thread in awhile. I know you guys have been waiting awhile for a new version of the Client. Truth be told I've been dealing with a large dose of life lately and hav...

OR if you were to change the internal memory value from one of the apps. Are you saying I can change this from inside the client app? I have been wanting to do this but been too lazy to change and reload my memory file. Thx Sure can. Bottom right hand side of the Memory tab: http://i150.photobucket...

remember to add the support for password on the web RA :-D I added this functionality a little while ago and I'm honestly considering not releasing with it built in anymore.. For whatever reason the performance with WifiAuthentication() is quite poor. I'm not sure if the problem is with the control...

Yeah, it's been one of the more requested features for sure. The next version still has a 2:00 countdown, but when in countdown mode, the text is a clickable hyperlink that does the reconnect action immediately.

Had some time this weekend and set this up on my desktop. Works great. When I am not around this computer goes to sleep. I could change that but I have a RAID array of SSD I would rather not have reading and writing if I can help it. Tried installing it on one of my servers and get crashes on progr...

I've seen this happening before. It happened to me and I forgot to comment. I had something to do with one of the values being out of range, if I'm not mistaken. If you go ahead and load one of the internal memory PDE files, it should correct the problem. I think what happens is the Client pulls a ...

1 no I don't have define wifi - no wifi module using usb, should I define it? 2 this is more then likely my problem, I had aurduino open but did not think it was connected as I wasn't uploading or using the java status monitor. 3 I did check the error log and the only thing in it was the original l...

Hmm caqnt figure. Out why it won't pull any parameters? It connects and sees the ra on com3 baud 57600 through usb but no info is pulled 1.) Do you have "#define wifi" in your ReefAngel_Features file? Double check this. 2.) Do you have any other applications running that my have a lock on...

Are you seeing correct data from the controller on the main tab? Temps/pH/Relay statuses?

The client itself doesn't lock the port, rather it's the ReefAngel Listener service that you mentioned, StuGotz that locks the port. There's a built in timer to the service that when it ticks, the service will attempt to open the COM port and communicate indefinitely. So long as that service is runn...

Yeah, this seems to be a popular request. I was always hesitant to add it because I thought it wouldn't be entirely accurate and it was possible to miss entire On/Off events within the 15 second window that it takes to query the controller. Also we don't know exactly when a relay toggled. Just that ...

That's good to hear. So are there any changes needed in the libraries/sketch to get it to work or can we breeze right through the SingleATO setup in RAGen and have it work as expected?

Just ran across Avast Marine's new pressure sensitive ATO setup which comes in two models. A standard option that comes with its own relay box to trigger a top off pump, or a digital version which comes with a few different cable options for plugging into a variety of controllers. Sure enough, the R...

So I think accessing the database like that would require the user to have at least SQL Server Express installed, yeah? When looking at options for the database I originally opted for the SQL Server Compact because its very small, portable and only needs 6 MS SqlCe libraries to be included with the ...

I've recently added authentication support in the Client Suite, but I'm not entirely sold on it yet. when browsing to /wifi or using the Client I will get a failed response back from the controller more often than I would like. It's not a consistent error and seems to happen randomly. I notice issue...

Don, glad it worked out well for you. Thank you for letting me know what issues you ran into. It will help out in the future when others look to do the same setup. Version 2.2 of the suite unfortunately has the web banner updating and email/sms notification happening from the Client. So it needs to ...
