Just Received Your Controller

[djapel1]

I just got my controller in tonight and I got it all set up to the standard set up. Here's some things I'd like to change but I'm not sure how to go about doing it.

I do not need two wavemaker plug ins. I have one small powerhead behind my aquascaping on one of the wavemaker plugins but the other is not needed. How do I code it to be something else?

Skimmer: Where should this be plugged in? I want it running all the time except during feed mode. How do I code this?

I have a separate controller for my RapidLED build so the light plugins aren't necessarily need except for one of them. I have a T5 light in my sump for my frags so I need this to be set up to come on at night.

I need to get some calibration solution to set up my pH probe so that will have to wait.

ATO needs to wait as I just made my mounting bracket so I'm waiting on the silicone to dry overnight.

As of right now I think that covers it. I'm sure I'll think of more but if you have any suggestions they're always welcome.

Start with the wizard...that should answer 99% of your questions.

[djapel1]

Where is this wizard you speak of?

[lnevo]

In the Arduino IDE, think its under the Tools menu... Enjoy

Right after I replied, I found it.

Now that that's all set up, my temperature isn't displaying. Could I have messed something up when I was uploading?

What is the temperature displaying? Err? if it's displaying Err, make sure the temp sensor is plugged into one of the temp probe ports and then power cycle your reef angel (just unplug it from the wall and plug it back in). Then your temperature should start displaying. if it's not displaying Err, you will have to elaborate more.

[djapel1]

It's not displaying anything. It's acting like it's not plugged in. I've unplugged it and plugged it back in several times.

Humm...
Can you check if you didn't pull the wires in the temp probe connector?

[djapel1]

I'll check when I get home. I hope that I didn't pull the wires loose. I gripped it on the connector itself.

Also, is there a preferred pH calibration solution or can I just order the packets from BRS?

[djapel1]

I checked the temp probe and the wires look fine. I'm wondering if I messed up in the wizard somehow.

[djapel1]

It's working now. I guess you have to leave the probe plugged in while you're updating... Everything works fine now.
