[Paride0475]

Hi,
I have some problems with the screen or controller of ReefAngel. Following some pictures:

I tried changing pde and reload it ... reboot the device several times .... disconnect and reconnect temperature sensors....but nothing to be done each time a different problem makes it unusable ...

What happened? any suggestions?

Thanks Paride

Do you have problems when you have no temperature probes connected too?

[Paride0475]

When the temperature probes aren't connect the screen appears as in Figure 2012-02-27 22.12.48.jpg (Temp 0.0, Canopy Temp Error, Ambient Temp Error)

Actually, can you reboot the controller while there is no probes connected and let me know if there is any problems?

[Paride0475]

I reboot without probes connected. The screen remains as previously described in Figure 2012-02-27 22.12.48.jpg

There is nothing wrong on that picture.
Now, plug one probe and reboot.
What happens?

[Paride0475]

I reboot with one probe connected. After few seconds some noise from relay box and the screen appear like in figure 1.

Does it do the same thing if you use a diffrerent probe too?

[Paride0475]

Yes, I use different probes and I try to connect in different connectors.

[rimai]

can i see your code?

[Paride0475]

sure...this is the last version. I'm working on it to simplify because I think the problem could be in the pde

Try changing this:

Code: Select all

  char text[7];

To this:

Code: Select all

  char text[10];

Does it make any difference?

[Paride0475]

something should be changed...
Temp 1 seems to be working properly. The visualization is correct.
I switch off, connect the second probe, switch on...Temp 2 is "-2027.-"

[Paride0475]

after a reboot the problem has reappeared even on temp 1

Has it worked in the past?
Does this problem also happen with a simple code on the standard main screen?
Try loading this:

Code: Select all

#include <ReefAngel_Features.h>
#include <ReefAngel_Globals.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <OneWire.h>
#include <Time.h>
#include <DS1307RTC.h>
#include <ReefAngel_EEPROM.h>
#include <ReefAngel_NokiaLCD.h>
#include <ReefAngel_Joystick.h>
#include <ReefAngel_LED.h>
#include <ReefAngel_ATO.h>
#include <ReefAngel_TempSensor.h>
#include <ReefAngel_Wifi.h>
#include <ReefAngel_Relay.h>
#include <ReefAngel_PWM.h>
#include <ReefAngel_Timer.h>
#include <ReefAngel_Memory.h>
#include <ReefAngel.h>
#include <ReefAngel_Colors.h>
#include <ReefAngel_CustomColors.h>

void setup()
{
  ReefAngel.Init();  //Initialize controller
}

void loop()
{   
  ReefAngel.ShowInterface();
}

Does it do the same thing?

[Paride0475]

the system has always had some little problem, but I always thought of a programming error code.

a similar problem with preloaded code. Some strange number on the screen in correspondence to temperature. Following the pics:

now I try with your last code.

Does it happen right away when you boot up the controller?

[Paride0475]

I try with your last code.

Unfortunately the problem remains:
