Connecting to Arduino

[dtrahan26]

Hello, I recently purchased a Reef Angle Plus controller. I am attempting to link my controller to Arduino (version 1.01) and cannot upload without receiving an "error compiling" message. I am using windows 7. Thanks for your help.

Can you post the code?

[dtrahan26]

I can highlight the code but cannot copy it. I have followed the setup instructions from the user manual v 2.15 and it does not seem my controller can be accessed by the arduino software. I cannot open a dropdown menu under File, sketchbook to create the initial memory setting.

You can highlight and use the shortcut for Copy, which is "CTRL + C".
But, if the menu doesn't dropdown, there is something else wrong.
When you click "File" menu, nothing happens?

[dtrahan26]

When I click on the File tab, it will open a drop down menu. However, I cannot open the sketchbook or examples dropdown.

Are you using the Arduino you downloaded from the reefangel.com website?

[dtrahan26]

Yes I am.

Is it the Mac or Win version?
When you go to menu Tools, do you see Reef Angel Wizard?

[dtrahan26]

No sir, I do not see Reef Angel Wizard - I downloaded the Windows version.

You are using the wrong arduino then.
Are you positively sure you are using the one you downloaded from the reefangel.com website?
I would suggest downloading and installing it again.

[dtrahan26]

I have removed the previously-installed version and reinstalled the windows version from the reefangel.com website. There is no Reef Angel Wizard option under the tools menu.

I don't see this happening unless you changed stuff around.
When you go to menu File->Preferences, what do you see as sketchbook location?

My apologies - I was able to access the wizard using my wife's account (her log in is administrator). Sorry for the inconvenience.
