Reefkeeper USB

[sbash]

Hi Everybody!

I recently acquired a used Reef Keeper (elite maybe?). I just wanted it for the pH probe and it was dirt cheap, but it came with all this other stuff. As I am sorting through it, most of it is pretty obvious, but there is a USB plug. It looks like the primary software is Windows based. Has anyone ever used this with a Raspberry Pi or another Linux OS?

Or, maybe this is just for firmware updates?

Its for firmware and there is a link cable for it

You are referring to the SID. It is used with myReef which is windows based. There is a download post on here for it if you need to get it. The three versions of the SID I have are in the photo below. You will need this and myReef if you ever need to update firmware are wish to name you ports or modules. You can also program using myReef but it you have to connect to the system with it up and running. To update firmware you have to connect each module unpowered to the SID one at a time.

Yup, it's the SID V2. Okay good to know. I'm not going to bother with it for now then. I really only bought it for the SL2. Thanks!

Here are a couple of threads that you might be interested in on this controller. Both have quite a bit of information.

Alternatives to Digital Aquatics Probes and Parts.

I thought I would start a thread where we can put probes and parts that we come across that can be used to replace the probes and parts for the RKE,RKL and Archon systems. To start it off I will add one. DP1 Motor pump assembly for the DP1. I found a replacement for the pump assy for the DP1...

Unfortunately Digital Aquatics has discontinued their ReefKeeper line and with it the Website and the download link for MyReef 2.0 Did you recently acquire a used ReefKeeper and need to download MyReef 2.0? Don't worry I've got you covered! Select the Zip file below! I would also like to turn...

How can I get these so I can set up my pumps and name my equipment?

You will have to find a used one for sale. They came with each system sold. So the system should have had one at one time..
