Recurring problem

[sjmusic2]

I have created my own main screen, but I keep experiencing the same problem...

It is ok for a short while then the alert led comes on and the display starts displaying unexpected additional artifacts.

RA error 2.jpg (44.12 KiB) Viewed 5478 times

If I clear the overheat flag manually within the RA, the display behaves as it should until the cycle repeats.

On a couple of occasions it displays error and/or 0oF for the temps

and has also crashed - only a reboot will clear this.

Here's my pde (using 0.8.5.19, gen 1 RA)...

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Can you run your system with just 1 temperature probe?
I have a feeling one of your temperature probes is failing.
There is just no way to find out which one, since they seem to work fine for a while, right?

[sjmusic2]

You could be right...I haven't finished testing the probes individually yet, but probe 1 malfunctions when used in isolation. Probe 2 doesn't, but the temp reading appears on the display as Tank temp (T1) when it is really the LED array temp (T2). I will test the third probe later, but suspect it will be like T2.

Have to say the color scheme for your display looks very slick.

Roberto : T1 and T3 are displaying incorrectly, ie. they read the correct temp, then for a second or so will display a number in the 2000's, before going back to the correct temp. T2 appears to be working normally.
Any thoughts ? How do I replace the temp probes if that is the solution ?

Bryan : Thanks - feel free to use the code

You got PM

Bryan : Thanks - feel free to use the code

Would not compile, looks like the library for the LCD is not there. Care to share it?. Thanks muchly
