*Released* ReefAngel 2.1 Client! - Going International

Wow, this looks absolutely awesome! Does this support ORP control?

 

This is really nice!!!

 

Thanks guys.

Unfortunately, no. There's no ORP sensor for the RA.

 

Oh, that's too bad. It still seems to be one of the nicest controllers I've seen. May be worth just going with a standalone orp controller seperatly if I ever go the O3 route.

 

Well, it's certainly one of the more flexible controller's I've seen so far. The creator has been quite accommodating to hardware requests. I know the wifi adapter and relay expansion box have been big on a lot of people's wish list and both of those came out probably within 6-9 months after first releasing the product. So who knows, maybe at some point we'll something to monitor ORP. I would really like to see a salinity sensor at some point.

 

this is looking awesome Dave!!!
cant wait until you get that imac up and running

 

Thanks, Trent.

I'm excited to get one up and running also. I think I've got a total of one full hour of experience on a mac OSX. I've always used Windows, so I'm not really sure what to expect from a development perspective. I'm looking forward to a new challenge though!

 

Question for Dave

This controller looks great, I'm working on some funds for it. I am starting my 1st SW tank and have been putting a lot of research into it. I am a new Wisconsin Reef Society member and have gotten way more information than I can possibly take in that quickly. Anyways this controller was referred to me and my question is what heads are compatible with it. Do I need to be looking at heads that are "Controllable"? Do you have any recommendations, I am setting up a 90 gal mixed reef tank.

Thanks,
Brian

 

Well, I use the Koralia Evolution powerheads. They work really well for this type of application. You don't need a powerhead that's specifically "Controllable" like a Tunze where you can actually control the voltage of it to speed it up or slow it down. You just need a powerhead that can be used on a wavemaker. I believe the new Sicce Voyager powerheads can also be used on a wavemaker as well. Rocketman had a really good writeup on them a little while ago: http://www.3reef.com/forums/filters-pumps-etc/new-sicce-voyager-powerhead-review-82344.html

 

Great work...I have my RA on order with a few customizations...Roberto has been great to work with...I must have sent him at least 50 emails back and forth!

One of my customizations on this controller was to add a second ATO.... can your client suite be revised in any way to have two ATO live updates and graphs etc...?

Also, will the current release show percentages of PWM channels/drivers...for showing live percentages of individual drivers for LEDs?

Is there anyway to be able to control relays via the internet....i.e somehow connect to the controlling PC via internet...so I can turn equipment on off at work?!
