Looks like these guys just got some more Pi Zero 2 W's, sucks you can only buy 1 per order though, their last batch they allowed two.

Those are nice units but I find myself using more and more zero's and now with the zero 2's even better.

If you can tell me where I can find them, I'd buy them... They seem to be made from unobtainium...

Shipping is a bit salty...

I get mine from a local microcenter, they used to have really cheap pi's. I was purchasing the older version pi zero w without a header for $5ea. I just picked up a couple of zero 2 but they were selling for the normal price of $15ea and limit you to one per customer, usually take my wife though and get 2. Hoping at some point the supply opens up and they will let you purchase more than that at one time, but crazy times right now.

the closest Micro Center to me is in Cincinnati, so it's a weekend trip. They were out last weekend of everything raspberry pi

Hi everyone,

I have just built (today) a reef-pi and initially just a thermometer which I am testing.
All is working fine and until a few minutes ago I could log in without issues, but unfortunetly I changed the 0.0.0.0:80 network setting to what I thought would allow me to log via an external connection, but it doesnt, and it now wont connect by the .local command!

Can anyone tell me where to find the file that stores the settings that I can alter please, and I promise not to mess about with it again

Thanks.

See if this will get you back to working, you will need to SSH to the rpi and do the commands mentioned in the post...https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/reef-pi-5-0-release-announcement.874824/post-9764873

@Ranjib - is there a way to connect multiple reefpi together instead of managing them separately? Thinking of having a reefpi control the tank inside the house and another in the garage for the mixing station. Thanks!

Nope not right now . This was planned and I had started working on it, but we have not been able to pull it off. I still have plan to do it , but not sure if it will be this year or sometime later

Many thanks for that, I'm at work at the moment but will have a go when I get home.
I did look at that file yesterday as I saw in the setup notes that it could be copied as a backup, but I didn't search through it!

I know this has been covered but I have been working on updating the robotank script and can't remember, why are there different reef-pi images for the zero vs rpi 3/4? I know I've seen the answer but unable to find it and just wondering what the differences are.

Thanks

Pi zero is arm v6 architecture , while pi3/4 is arm 7/8 . That is the genre of their cpu processor is different , and the go binary , the controller code needs to be built differently for each of those two. zeros binary will not work on pi 3, and vice versa. Hence the two packages

Welp I need to double check my script but I think I am running reef-pi-4.3-pi3.deb on a zero right now...will double check and see what I have running. I have been updating and tweaking @robsworld78 robotank script, and been testing/verifying stuff and pretty sure I loaded up that version.

 

[bishoptf]

I just loaded reef-pi-4.3-pi3.deb on a zero w running bullseye and it loads and so far appears to be running fine...lol. Maybe something is different with bullseye vs buster? I do not have a rpi3 to test on but tested the -pi3 on a zero.

I dunno, maybe something has changed, would make managing images a whole lot easier...

An Opensource Controller Product you say?

 

[GaryE]

Since the last update, when I click on the "Auto" / "Manual" buttons in the lights section, I get this dialog..

Not entirely sure what that language is, but it certainly does not match the language in my OS and it happens like this across all devices I have used. Including my computer at work. Pretty sure I don't have whatever Germanic language this is set on my work computer, I'd never get anything done...

5.2?

5.2?

5.1, doesn't appear that you have released 5.2 yet...
