    Thanks. I see that the sunrise/sunset effects would be relatively easy to do. I will have to look into the moons phases for an idea on, say a "routine" o something, that the moon goes through. It would be based on month/day/year of course though.

    Enable wifi in RAGen.exe.

    Find the ReefAngel_Features.h file inside the libraries folder. libraries can be one of two places I think:

    Arduino0022\libraries\ReefAngel_Features\
    or
    My Documents\Arduino\libraries\ReefAngel_Features\

    Makes sure the file has a line in there that looks like this:

    #define wifi

    If you chose the correct USB Settings, try stopping and then restarting the "ReefAngel Listener". Client -> Settings -> General Tab -> Launch Service Dash

    Stop and Start the Listener button.

    ok tnx
    then there is something I do not do well, we start from the beginning
    1) I downloaded the latest version reefangel libraries, bookstores curtbinder-ReefAngel-v0.8.5.14, Ragen.
    2) Insert the libraries pde with Ragen create the file, load the file pde
    3) discharge davemolton-Client-Suite-2.1.1-Installer
    4) Install RAclient
    5) I open the software I'm going to change and enter my email passwords, save
    Now what do I do to start it up?
    deemed to use the USB cable.
    how do I configure my wifi?
    this video shows the unit charged with the pde

    Okay, I see.

    You're 1/2 way there. The sketch you have running on the controller is the "Memory Sketch". It loads up all the internal settings for the controller into memory. Lights ON/OFF, Temperatures, Dim% etc...

    The next step is to make your selections in RAGen.exe on the "Features" and "PDE" tab. Inside features, makes sure WiFi is checked. Once finished, press the Generate button inside the PDE tab. It will create another sketch for you to upload. The sketch name will start with "RA_". You will need to stop the Client Listener Service again, since it will be blocking your COM port to upload. Client -> Settings -> General Tab -> Launch Service Dash. Stop the Listener button. After that, open your new sketch in arduino, and upload. Once complete, start the Listener again inside the Service Dash.

    Hi Dave,
    i try now the client on the home PC and it's work right. Beautiful !

    Two little question:

    - if i set the user and psw in the web of the controller, the client don't work ?
    - i use the °C instead of °F but the client see the temp like 255,00 and not 25,5°C

    This is my webbanner http://www.reefangel.com/status/image_style2.aspx?id=LukeLuke&time= 2

    Thanks a lot.

    Hey luke, not I sure I understand what you're looking for exactly. I'd be happy to try it out if you could elaborate a bit more or let me know what you're trying to accomplish.

    Glad you got it working. I've never enabled the password protection on the ReefAngel, but I'm honestly not surprised there's an issue there. I'll have to go and enable it for the first time and see what's happening. Thanks for pointing that out though, I completely forgot about the password settings.

    I thought I got the Celsius stuff working correctly, at least for displaying and sending to the web banner. I've uploaded two new international versions since the first 2.1 release. I really should have qualified them, like 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 but got lazy. When did you download the version of the Client Suite you've got installed now? It might be that you are a version behind.

    Great work...I have the RA, 4 relay boxes, wifi and two i/o expansion modules.....!!....that will be all set up soon, I am still in the building process, but will soon come into the point were I will be setting this all up along with the client suite....keeping my eye on things for now....lunar simulation is also something that I will definetily like to code in as well, even if I have to write the program myself.

    keep up the great work!
