Reef Angel Regular time

[Sleepingtiger]

I picked up a used RA for my freshwater aquarium just to do some real basic stuff. Version is V1.1.0 and the Arduino is libaries V1.1.0. I can't seem to change the time on it. Unlike my RA+, there isn't an option under time for me to change it. Do i need to update the firmware or something? I am sure i am missing something. Do I need eagle files or something?

The "simple menu" that gets enabled by default does not have an option to set the time on the controller. You have different options based on how you can communicate with the controller. If you have a wifi module, then you can update the time via one of the mobile apps or my java status app. if you do not have a wifi module, you can either a) enable the standard menu and just have the bare basics setup so you can then load that code, set the date / time then reload your current code that you want to use or b) manually set the time on the controller via the usb interface and the arduino device monitor window.

the choice is yours and we can direct you to either option.

Add this to your setup():

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.AddDateTimeMenu();

awesome! it works! thanks!

one more question. because this is the regular version of RA and not the RA+, can i do a custom screen? i am finding that graph in the screen unnecessary. I am trying to label each port on my power bar.

Code: Select all

    ReefAngel.TempProbe = T1_PROBE;
    ReefAngel.OverheatProbe = T1_PROBE;
    // Set the Overheat temperature setting
    InternalMemory.OverheatTemp_write( 850 );


    // Ports that are always on
    ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port4 );
    ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port7 );
    ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port8 );

    // This should always be the last line
    ReefAngel.ShowInterface();
}

Sure. Give it a shot.

gives me an error: Sketch too big: see http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#size for tips on reducing it.

this only happens when i add

ReefAngel.Use2014Screen();

[lnevo]

Thats not the custom screen..and that will take a LOT of space.

[Sleepingtiger]

hmmm, how do i know what these commands mean?

how come my RA+ doesn't have the command ReefAngel.AddDateTimeMenu(); but i am still able to see the option to change date and time.

man this thing is confusing

[rimai]

The RA+ has enough space, so it gets added automatically.
Because of the limitation of memory on the standard RA, it is an optional feature.

thanks Roberto. sorry, but i am slowly learning.

thanks Roberto. sorry, but i am slowly learning.

no need to apologize....it is a learning curve. better to be slow and ask questions or read through the forum.
