Hey all,

Here are the problems I'm having. I'm basing my sketch on the CustomMainScreen_RelayExpansion.....to get my second relay working. I can see it in the Reef Angel client v2.2, and control it, however the outlet configuration is what's puzzling me. I see no specifics for the second relay box in the sketch. Should they be there, and what would be the proper code to define them as "on" for now.

My next question is with the PH probe. Having never used one before, if I upload a new sketch after calibrating, do I need to calibrate again, or is that that something that stays set.

3rd is I', having trouble with the MHlights toggling on and off. The port always sits in the off state, never turning on. I can toggle the port via the client, but it doesn't work automatically. Standard Lights work just fine.

Thanks!!!

Scott

You can add this to your code:

Code: Select all

    ReefAngel.Relay.On(Box1_Port1);

The pH calibration will not change if you load another sketch. It will change if you upload a new internal memory code though.

Did you check what time you set them to come on and off?

Well....the lights worked tonight....not sure what happened last night. Will keep a eye on them.

Thanks for the update on the code......I will give that a shot this weekend.

If you can toggle them ON and OFF with the client, make sure you set them back to the AUTO mode. If you toggle them ON or OFF, they will remain in the ON or OFF state until you manually put them back into the AUTO mode. The ON/OFF overrides your lighting schedule.

Also, make sure you check out this for the custom main screens (if you have not already). It's got some explanations on how you do things too.

If anything, it's worth a read as it can give you some more insight on how things work.

Curt,

I believe I did just what you said above, I toggled it off, not realizing that I had to set it back to auto. I'll also give that thread a good read, I'm sure it will help out.

Thanks!!!!
