New Code Not Running After Upload?

Posted: Sat Feb 03, 2024 1:47 pm

I'm running into an odd problem this morning and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've uploaded new code via Remote Upload from the Wizard. I've done this a dozen or more times this morning trying to get something working. After a little testing, I think my new code is not actually making it through. The RA* beeps like it received the new code but my changes do not seem to be taking effect. I finally figured this out by statically setting ReefAngel.CustomVar[5] = 35; Earlier this morning I had it set to ReefAngel.CustomVar[5] = ReefAngel.Params.Temp[4]; It's still reporting the temp in the uapp which leads me to believe it's not taking the code. Am I losing my marbles here? And I overlooking something really simple maybe:

Here's the code I just uploaded a few minutes ago. I heard the controller beep like it received the code. I'm still seeing the temp fluctuate on custom var 5.

Check your SD card in your reefangel it probably went bad. If you have a spare one try swapping it out. You can remove it and insert it into your PC and if your PC isn't able to read it then it's definitely gone bad.

No luck there. The old card reads/writes fine on the laptop. Also tried a new card. Still sounds like it's updating but it's not taking the code.

I plugged in to the RA* via USB cable and uploaded that way and it took.

It might have something to do with the Cloud Hub. I had that plugged into the laptop earlier today. I unplugged it before uploading the most recent time and it took. I'll test that out more later this weekend.

That is very odd, I had the same issue with my star, where it would download the new firmware and then reboot but never install the new firmware. My issue was the SD Card. Make sure the SD Card is formatted as FAT format.
