I think I had suggested these. Like hard refresh or access reef-pi ui from incognito mode
Sorry for your trouble @janos . Stuck with beta-7 if it’s working for you . We appreciate you taking the time to troubleshoot and try. I’ll definitely do a clean installation and check if I can reproduce this.
Couldn't find it in any documentation from Reef-PI. Maybe somebody can run "i2cdetect -y 1" on their Reef-PI with the PCA9865 module attached (may require "sudo apt install python-smbus" this will then automatically install i2cdetect)
Hi wykat, did you change the jumpers on your PCA9685 chip? The default for the chip is 0x40 unless you changed the jumpers on your chipAnybody knows which address the PCA9685 module is using with Reef-PI (0x40?). Can it be changed somewhere?
my Reef-PI doesn't start anymore with the Reef-PI_PWM module attached with a failure in syslog:
Sep 22 12:15:01 Reef-Pi reef-pi[818]: 2018/09/22 12:15:01 ERROR: Invalid RPI PWM frequency: 0 falling back on default 100Hz
Sep 22 12:15:01 Reef-Pi reef-pi[818]: 2018/09/22 12:15:01 ERROR: Failed to initialize pca9685 driver
Sep 22 12:15:01 Reef-Pi reef-pi[818]: 2018/09/22 12:15:01 ERROR: Failed to initialize controller. Error:remote I/O error
With this error I can't get into the user interface.
i2cdetect recognizes my PCA9685 chip on my Reef-PI_PWM module at address 0x70, so it looks like an address failure. I can change the address on my Reef-PI_PWM module but it would be good to be sure about the required address
On my Reef-PI it shows following:
pi@Reef-Pi:~ $ i2cdetect -y 1
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f
00: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
70: 70 -- -- -- -- -- -- --
So the chip is working
Hi Thanks for the info.Hi wykat, did you change the jumpers on your PCA9685 chip? The default for the chip is 0x40 unless you changed the jumpers on your chip
Here's my output
pi@reefpi:~ $ i2cdetect -y 1
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f
00: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
40: 40 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
70: 70 -- -- -- -- -- -- --
It does look like reef-pi is set up to default to the 0x40 address for this chip as I found the following in the file "controller/utils/pwm_pca9685.go":
Address int `json:"address"` // 0x40
DevMode bool `json:"dev_mode"`
Frequency int `json:"frequency"`
}
type PCA9685Config struct {
Address: 0x40,
Frequency: 1500,
}
var DefaultPCA9685Config = PCA9685Config{
Of course Ranjib will be able to answer this question better than I
Yes on 0x40 Reef-PI UI works againHi Thanks for the info.
I'm not using the standard PCA9685 module but only the chip on the Reef-PI_PWM, but I can change the address on my PCBA as well
Will try to change my hardware configuration then.
If the PCA9685 address is hard coded, that also means only 1 module can be used?
, now I can continue testing
Hmm.. whats the ato check period? Can you reduce it to say.. 2 seconds and see if that changes anything? There will be delays of 2s from the time ato sensor detects water level is changed and the pump triggers. Can you share your ATO configuration screen shot?
So, if I understand correctly your ato pump does not turn off even after 2s of water reached to expected level? I’ll try to reproduce this, I am running rc0 without any issue for couple of days now
Your top up line isn't creating a siphon is it?
@noob again What is the power strip you are using?I have finally finished setting up reef-pi, I an running a MH/T5 light setup, so I didn't have a need for pwm at the moment but I am running the lights on times built into reef-pi. I have currently 13 outlets controlled with the ability to run 16 if i can think of 3 more things to setup. I currently have 3 MH's, T5s, 2 heaters, return pump, skimmer, fuge light, fan, ato pump and 2 pumps for a wave maker. I think I may have found a bug or two.
1. In the macro, if I try to have a piece of equipment wait the default is set to 10 seconds, if you delete the time the system enters NaN, this cannot be changed to a new number. The only way to get past I found was to then delete the wait line and re add it and edit the time (ie change 1 to 6 and leave 0) to get 60 seconds.
2. After I added 8 equipments the next one would just duplicate the previous one. I would have to then edit the item and change the name and connector to the correct item and instance I wanted. (If the last thing I added was T5 lights, when I went in to add ato, after I hit save it would change to T5, so there would be a duplicate. I would edit one to change it to ato and it would then save correctly.) This seemed to happened on all after the 8th one. I am running alpha-0.
Here are a few pictures, the only making thing left is to finish securing the relay boards down.
No. It definitelu isn't.
Correct. It used to work perfectly, then this problem just started.
@Des Westcott I've confirmed the bug with saving Celsius and have opened an issue. It is actually saving the celsius selection, but the UI is showing incorrectly. This is also occurring for the Sensor Status field. I'm working on a fix for this issue today.
Have you read on this programming on a different Outlet? Do you think the problem could be a relay sticking? What sort of relays are you using? What type of pump are you using?
