My setup has crashed or something, and it's somewhat urgent

kdx7214 · Jul 9, 2023

Running a robo-tank (thanks Rob!) and it's been working well until yesterday. Yesterday it started having issues controlling things. Today it lost most of it's settings and after I set them back up, I can't control anything (i.e. I can't switch equipment from off to on). I've temporarily plugged my heaters into a power outlet as I just did a water change, but need to get it going. I've rebooted and power cycled to no effect.

Edit: I'm now getting error shown on the attached screen shot, but when I go to Configuration it shows no errors.

Hey there. Which controller are you using?

I have deleted and recreated the temperature entries and they seem to be working now. I'll have to do that with all the other stuff as well. Any ideas what the heck caused it?

Edit: The temperature sensors now work fine, but they are unable to turn anything on.

Okay, this seems to be solved for now. I've wiped and reinstalled the SD card and set the entire thing back up and now it's working, so something happened to the configuration data. No clue what.

Hmmm, I remember @bishoptf swearing on quality SD-cards, since bad quality ones might encounter data corruption earlier ...
