If you have wifi:
  • Android app
  • Client Suite
  • Reef Angel Status
  • Portal
If not:
  • Preloaded code
  • Add this to your setup() section of your code:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.AddDateTimeMenu();
This last one takes quite a bit of space. If you have a standard RA, it may be too big. If you have RA+, you don't need to worry about space.

No, you can read the temp probe with the standard RA. He was just telling you how you can change the date & time of the controller.

If the probe is not reading properly (or at all), make sure it is plugged in fully and restart the controller (pull the power and then plug it back in).
What is the temp probe reading? Is the temp probe placed in the water (I know, silly question, but still worth asking)?

Still getting error on temp1

Also I am having issues calibration the ph probe. When in calibration mode for 7 I get 599 nothing higher. I'm using pinpoint #7 fluid. Any secrets?
