ReefAngel Star replacement board

Hi All.

My reefangel star keeps having buslock issues even with nothing connected to it. It keeps resetting itself even though nothing is connected to it. Any way to resolve this issue? The reefangel star seems to be out of stock but are there any replacement boards available for sale?

Try reseating the ribbon cable connecting the LCD to the Board on each side. If it still has issues let me know and I should have some new boards ready soon as well as kits.

I saw that LCD screen was flickering and instead changed the power supply that I was using to one that could provide more current and that seemed to have stopped the resetting. Once you get new boards in I would still like to order one as a spare. Will there be a new Star controller or will the boards be of the same revision?

Saw that the UApp got an update as well. Thank your for efforts keeping the ReefAngel going.

I wish I was a bit faster with getting things done, but it will be the same board with a few newer components, possible a module for Wifi and Bluetooth capabilities, but I am still testing before anything is official. I am still working on the new webwizard built on the same framework as the new Uapp to keep things uniform.

Wifi and bluetooth would be a welcomed addition especially I could connect more devices to the ReefAngel wirelessly reducing the chances of buslocks occuring.
