Question to all you Reef-pi gurus out there, Im hot sure how the timer works or how to get it to work the way I want it to. I see the month day hour ECT. but don't get how to use it. I I have my macros set up, this is for a dosing pump. I got it to work but it seems to turn on randomly not every 10 seconds like I put in the box.

What exactly did you put in which box? For every 10 seconds there should be a star in every box except the seconds box, and in there either "0,10,20,30,40,50" or "*/10“

That's weird. Is there a reason you are using a timer to run a macro to run a dosing pump, and not using the dosing pump menu? Maybe something with the macros is hanging, but I don't know, just guessing at this point
 
Ive tryed it both ways. Ive ran the doser menu and the macro with the same result. I Just don't understand how the boxes work.
 
@Ranjib Until recently my ATO has been working fine. Now when the (optical) sensor is reached each time it disables all ATO module rather than just turning pump off. Any suggestions?

Honestly when Ive had problems like this I restart my Computer. If that doesn't fix it I remove the settings and start over.
 
Hi,

Weird problem. After updating from 3.0 to 4.1 I'm unable to change any temperature settings.
Everything works ok with previous settings but I can't change anything under temp tab.

No matter if I change check frequency (even by 1 second), chart min/max, thresholds - any change = "The temperature settings cannot be saved due to validation errors. Please correct the errors and try again."

Anyone got an idea how to solve this issue? :)
I could probably fresh install reef-pi but that's an 2 hour work to set up everything back.

Everything else: equipment, lights, ATO works like a charm.

Thanks!

Can you share the reef-pi log? dont delete whole reef-pi database, just delete the temperature controller and create a new one if nothing else work

Deleting and adding again temp controllers works :)

This is what I get from sudo journalctl -fu reef-pi.service:

Hi:
After my Digital Aquatics Archon finally gave up the ghost a few weeks ago, I switched over to reef-pi on robo-tank hardware. I've got my LEDs driven by a 0-10v signal on a diurnal program that has them come on at about 2:30PM, and then go off around 11:30PM. Because a couple of my LED drivers don't always completely cut off, I've also got 2 AC outlet switches that are off from midnight until 2:00 PM. All this works fine and it's the way I had it set up for the last 5 years or so.

Sometimes, though, I want to turn the lights on in the morning, maybe for service, or maybe just to see what's going on. On my Archon, it was easy to set up a macro to do this, but I can't seem to find a way to do that under reef-pi. I tried creating a manual lighting program that I could enable and then turn the lights up. But it seemed as though every couple of mins, the main program would turn them back off, then they'd come on again...

How can I set up a macro/timer/something to turn the light on manually?

Thanks,
Phil
 
Hey question, I want to use a PWM signal to control T5 ballasts. It requires a 0-10v analog signal and i was hoping someone might know how to convert the PWM to analog. This diagram is from @theatrus and his pico board.

I'm guessing I need something like this, I was thinking i could use a ULN 2803A with a capacitor on the PWN signal to flatten the signal out before it goes into the driver??? Is there a mass produced chip that already does this this to make my life easier??

Ok this is what I came up with,

I think this should work to make a anolog voltage signal for t5 lamps from a PWM signal. Ill give it a shot in atempt to control t5 bulb brightness

Looks like it should work, that's as close to an all in one package you'll get. In reef-pi set the frequency of the PCA9685 above 1000 Hz as this say it wants 1000-3000 input. 1526 is the limit for PCA9685.

Hi Phil, as I mentioned I tried to get something like this working but got the same results as you, maybe someone has an idea to try?

Do you think that will cause any problems with dosing pumps?? I'm also going to run pumps off of the PCA9685. That and led lights

If you're driving a mosfet or something similar for dosing pumps it should be ok at any frequency, you'll likely see a slight difference at the lowest levels. If you run the light 0-10v module under 1000 Hz the light may start flickering, you'll know if there's an issue but everything should be ok.

I had a similar issue, I run one light off of the 2 pwm channels of the pi itself and other stuff on a pca9685 on a different frequency
