ReefAngel Client v2.2 masking issue

[agentgreen]

I installed the ReefAngel Client v2.2 and so far am really liking it. Nice job!

I am seeing a strange issue, and I'm not 100% sure its due to the client software, but it seems this issue cropped up after connecting the client.

Just to confirm, when there is a blue box surrounding a relay, that means it's masked by the client software, right? I'm talking about this:



So it appears my MH2, Fans and NA are masked OFF, right?

Well, when I set them back to Auto (click OFF, choose Auto) the relays switch to ON, like they should be, but then immediately go back to masked off.

I checked the relay profile for this relay box, and it's only using the Auto profile, which has all relays set to Auto.

Anything I'm missing?

Thanks!

Can you post your entire code?
It could be your overheat mask.

According to this line:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.OverheatShutoffPorts = B11000110;

You are masking off Port 2,3,7,8.
So, in the picture above, Port 7 should've been masked off.
Maybe you picked the wrong ports when creating the code.
I think what you really meant was:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.OverheatShutoffPorts = B01100011;

Which is port 1,2,6,7
It's the tricky of writing in binary. The left most is the most significant, which means the left most is always the biggest.
I think what you have to check too is the overheat temperature setting in the internal memory. That's what is triggering the overheat.

[agentgreen]

Ahhh. You actually answered another question I was going to have too!

I wasn't sure which order to use when setting those things.

Thanks, I'll make the changes and see if it resolves.

[rimai]

Oh, by the way, on your code you mention moonphase in the comments, but your code sets the channels to 100%.
Was it what you intended or you wanted to have it go according to the moon cycles?

[agentgreen]

I couldn't get the moonphase stuff to work, I don't know why. I don't even think the time range to set the PWMs to 100% is working right. For instance, my moon lights are on right now, and they shouldn't be!

I feel like when I first set this up, I pushed some PWM settings to memory, which are overriding the moonphase settings, or my time range settings.

[agentgreen]

Ok, I just pushed new code after modifying based on the above.

The moonlights are no longer on, so it may have been a fluke somewhere.

[agentgreen]

Ok, so, now I see why the MH was off, something is triggering the OverHeatShutOff, but I can't figure out what. My heaters and MH's are masked off right now because the controller thinks I've over heated.

In Client Suite, if I refresh the memory settings, Overheat is set to 150. In my PDE, I have the OverHeat probe set to Temp1, which is my water temp probe. My water temp is below 80 degrees.

Is memory overwriting the PDE in this regard?

[rimai]

Use this:

Code: Select all

  if (hour()>=21 || hour()<=8) // Turn Moonlights on/off
  {
    ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(MoonPhase());
    ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight(MoonPhase());
  }
  else
  {
    ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(0);
    ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight(0);
  }

The reason they were on was probably because you forgot to turn them off when not within the time schedule you had.

[rimai]

Try changing the temperature to something else. I was testing your code and set it to 83 through the Client. Then with my hands I held the probe to increase the temperature and the ports went off, indicating that it was working as intended.
I only had that one probe in my tests, though... Not that it should influence the results.

I just set the temp to 95 from the client and cleared the over heat warning. Lights came on for a couple seconds, and now are still masked off. Strange...

[agentgreen]

Use this:

Code: Select all

  if (hour()>=21 || hour()<=8) // Turn Moonlights on/off
  {
    ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(MoonPhase());
    ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight(MoonPhase());
  }
  else
  {
    ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(0);
    ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight(0);
  }

The reason they were on was probably because you forgot to turn them off when not within the time schedule you had.

I actually had this code setup previously and I think it was working. However, at the same time the controller was locking up on me every couple of hours. I removed the above loop and it resolved the lock ups. It could have been something else, but I attributed it to the loop.

Let's see what happens this time.

[rimai]

What happens if you use joystick and navigate to clear overheat?

[agentgreen]

What happens if you use joystick and navigate to clear overheat?

The lights and heaters go unmasked, the lights come on for about 10 seconds, then go off again, and in the client I see that they are masked off.

[rimai]

Beats me, man...
I got the same code and this behavior doesn't happen.
Can you use the update utility to download the latest code??

I'm running on .18

[dmolton]

What happens if you remove the overheat line all together and re-upload?

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.OverheatShutoffPorts = B11000110;

I'm going to comment it out for now, with the alerting setup now, I can manually turn off stuff if I notice it gets hot.

For now I just want to stabilize the controller, so I'll figure this one out later.
