Reef Angel Forum

Hello,

Once Wifi connected reefangel goes crazy - parameters starts to jump and is not stable.

Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HZJPt2uJck

Can someone help to identify what is the problem.

Thank you

Does it happen all the time or only after you plug it in?

It happens only when Wifi module gets connected. If you disconnect - RA controller is stable. Also worth to mention after some time it stabilizes and jumps between values are not so big. Fx ORP goes from 400 to 385 to 405 in few seconds, although without Wifi it is stable at 398. Same is with Salinity and PH exp and Multi water level controller

Maybe you're wifi module is defective. Contact customer service to get a replacement.
But before that I just realized when you plug the black connector to RA controller make sure you line it up to the right of the RA connection pins!?

You cannot plug wifi module differently as connector size exact as hole in RA

So it's defective then!

Or maybe not. As it worked perfectly previously. It could be anything

Can you try updating firmware?

This one was done not so long ago when portal ip was changed. Since then it changed or not? Or should I do the same update?

Same one.
When did this start happening?
Any change on code or router?
Can you check for any water damage?

It started after recent update of the code in RA (earlier it was the same but not so often, values changed to zero once 5 minutes or so). In code there were changes just for ph exp values (even with the old code same happens).

Router has not been changed. Also cannot find any water damage.

Done that few times. Tried experimenting why this is happening. And seems that the wire from RA to Wifi is causing this. If I'm finding some position - everything is working fine. @rimai how can I get replacement wire?

Send me a PM.
