After a long time...I'm back to the hobby

Post by Paulohanashiro »

Hello to everyone.

After a really long time away, raising a family, moving countries, changing careers. I'm now back to the hobby and looking into the ReefAngel again to assist with the management of my newly setup the nano-reef.

BTW.: I was unable to re-activate my previous user "Seiitiro" so I created a new one.

I'm glad of the huge evolution in the ecosystem since I last used it.

Roberto.
I cannot see the shipping costs of a unit to Australia, and also unable to confirm if we have a 240V 50hz compatible power unit.

Be safe everyone!

It took a while but I was able to source a used RA+ locally.

Unfortunately it came without the TTL cable and WIFI module.

for the RA+, I got a generic TTL serial and it is working smoothly so this is sorted for good.

On the WIFI, after a quick search in the forum, I was able to burn the cloud WIFI into a ESP8266, following the Cloud WIFI manual, I was able to do the initial setup (Connect to my home network, set forum user/password) but after the initial setup, it cannot connect to the cloud server, with the below error:

Code: Select all

username: paulo.hanashiro
Start
IP address: 10.17.0.228
Connecting to cloud server...
Failed, rc=5 try again in 30 seconds
Connecting to cloud server...

Connecting to cloud server...
Failed, rc=-2 try again in 30 seconds

Question: Am I missing anything or doing anything wrong?

Thanks and regards.

what is the server you are trying to connect?
Password is case sensitive.
You can also try resetting the password on the forum. Your password may have been created before the cloud server was brought online.

Hi Roberto.

URL details:
#define version "1.0.1"

#define MQTTServer "cloud.reefangel.com"

#define MQTTPORT 1883 // MQTT server port
I'll reset the password and test again.

Thanks!!!
