Disregard previous post. I forgot I asked the question earlier. The problem with getting old.

Lol. Yup. Net module does not work with archon. Not needed as archon does wifi and wired

How do i set my vout1 and vout2 for 3sec pulse alternating? Ive tried advwavemaker and wavemaker modes. vout1 and 2 ports are connected to DCI. The pump are turning on and off but sporadic times.

Man, that looks correct to me. But I dont use my DC ports for the Jebao pumps. I do know that you need to have all pumps that are setup to show the master port as port 1.

I believe Danny and or Dave Morris might use his for that. Frankly I am pushing for a 6 or 8 port DC output module. Man would that not be sweet.

Someone had a issue like this. If I remember correctly it had to do with the way you input the time. I will see if I can find it.

I do not use my 0-10volt outputs at this point. I do use the PWM channels for lighting. I would like more of the PWM channels.

OK.

What other videos do you guys want from me???

1. Initial setup (connecting to Archon wifi and then accessing it - Planned but there are some developments very soon.
2. calibrating the Salinity probe

Any others you guys think I need to do?

Hey did you ever make an initial setup video? I am trying to setup an Archon but can't get to the initial screen. It asks for username and password but DigitalAquatics and password doesn't let me in.... would you know how to get passed this?

It is pretty easy. Just need some logical thinking. It is definatly easier imo than some apex programming.

Ben. I love the blue. Did you do that in the style sheet? If so, lmk. I'd love that.

I just saw that you asked about the style sheet! Sorry I never noticed that before... I just grabbed a bunch of style sheet code from websites and went to town tweaking. I really liked that look, unfortunately, each update wipes my modifications. Too much work to do it every couple weeks! Lol.

Here's what worked for me: pull the USB drive from the Archon and plug it into your computer. Look for the access list file (I'm on a trip right now, so can't access my files to tell you where it is). Edit that and put whatever username and password you want (I just use a simple one letter for each- it's not like I'm protecting sensitive info here). Put the USB back into the Archon and go through the setup process using the username and password you just created.

So, that worked and it's connected to the wifi, but when I go to archon.local it says it is unable to display the page.

Do you know what IP address your router assigned the Archon? Depending in what router you have, it'll be 192.168.1.xx Put that in your address bar and you'll be good to go. It seems to me that different routers/browser combinations have trouble with archon.local. Chrome and Firefox work best.
