Nope

OK. removed all adafruit telemetry info from Reef-pi. I then reloaded. then I regenerated a new key from adafruit and re-activated the telemetry in reefpi and input this new key. I see feeds now in adafruit, but some do not have data.

Here is what I see on the feeds. none of the temperature ones are getting information.

@Ranjib , your 4th module is up on Adafruit now. What are the sizes of the two holes that don't have anything in them yet in the picture, so I don't build myself into a corner?

Hello, everybody. This thread is amazing. I'm quote a noob in this aspect so I would like to check the software out, will it work without an actual Raspberry Pi?

They are for 3.5 mm audio jacks . Same as temperature probe connector. I plan to use one of them for light controls and another as secondary temperature sensor .

Welcome to reef2reef. I develop reef-pi on Mac , OSX. I think it will work on Linux and window laptops/desktop as well . You have to build / compile locally . If you have no command line experience with computers, it can be little complicated and it’s best to get a pi and use it without any extra electronics

So, no data even after few minutes ? Can you share which probes are missing feeds? Does reef-pi dashboard shows data/chart for the same ?

@Ranjib I have a little experience in using the command line. I can try it out. If it fails...then I will buy a pi. I don't have a mac, but i have access to windows and ubuntu.

My lights are non-dimming T5s, so i can't use the light control, but where would the second temperature probe go?

Here is the example of setting up dev environment in MacOS, https://reef-pi.github.io/additional-documentation/development/

Thank you, sir. I'm trying to wire the first two modules in tonight. I've already built the pi itself, but I'm sure it needs an update.

WOW

Things are moving along Quickly in here.. I have been Way over busy at work and then LAST Saturday my Tank sprung a Leak.. We now have a Brand new 220 gallon tank on a Brand new Built in stand , Drilled and new Overflow box installed today.. I will soon be back to working on the Reef Controller. This coming week or next weekend .

Hope everyone is well

Hey @Erica-Renee , glad to see ya back in the thread.
Yeah , prepping up for final 2.0 release, the ui has changed a lot , thanks to @Michael Lane and @Zekth . And I’m half way through publishing the guided in adafruit

Looking forward for your 220 build thread , should be awesome

@Ranjib for the power controller, what wire did you use to go from the buck converter to the pi-hat? Did you strip, and tip some normal wire with female jumper tips, or did you use some long jumper I failed to order?
