That's a little far from where I am, otherwise I wouldn't mind helping out with your AQT connectivity... well if you need to give me a call, let me know by PM.

Ok this is the problem i am having. When calibrating the ph interface it says bus error and then every time after that it says unable to calibrate. I have reset the controller and tried different USB ports and re ran the firmware update. This is pretty frustrating. I think it may be a bad interface.

I am testing the aquatronica on my 55 gallon while I am setting up the 360. I decided to set up my light on a timer. I programmed it on the "C" plug named it "light" I went to program timer. I set it to come on at 11 am and turn off at 22:00 all days of the week. I plugged light into "C". Where it had M for minutes I left those at 0. It said executed. I then went and viewed it and everything was as I had set it. The proplem is that the lights never turn off. I have tried different times and still nothing. I checked the time on the main screen, and no proplem there. What am I doing wrong? Thank You.

can you post a screen shot of the program?

Are you sure you have the outlet set to 'auto' and not manual-on?

okay, so today i awoke (at 1:30 pm!) to find that the lights in my tank were off. now i can't get my aquatronica to start working again. I unpluged everything, and then put it all back together, but the main unit won't turn back on. it did start controlling after i re-assembled it though, but when i try to connect to the pc, the lights turn back off with the powerheads still on their wave cycle. I am frustrated and confused.

some help please?

and I'm sure I'll receive plenty of help with the bowl starting in a few hours.

have you checked that the switch on the power unit is on auto, not on manual ?

 

[Bebo77]

hey i hooked up the aqua to an old coputer i have and it works!

edit.. its not reading my other power units! it should read them when i plug them into a USB right?

have you got it set up to cut the lights off, if temperature gets too high? I know its cold out, but what is your tank temp reading?
and do the lights, still light up if plugged directly into an outlet, instead of controller?

 

[rulesmith]

Each of my power outlets shows a lock above their letter. Is the icon I should have? My DSL is on the frits, I am checking this at a frieds house, so it will be a bit before I can get a screen shot. Thank you for the help.

 

[Psyire]

A lock or a clock?

(should be a clock for a timer program such as lights)

 

[Bebo77]

what do you do if you lose connection and cant get it back?
