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?

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?

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?

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

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.

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.
