ok, not sure if this is related to the beta or not as i dont recall doing or trying this before

FEed cycle

here is my program for feed cycle D

If FeedD 005 Then TOF ON

When i use the drop down box on aquanotes, SOMETIMES I will se a popup that says something about feed - and some seconds. but the pop up disappears in about 3 seconds or less

the status doesnt change unless i update and when i do then sometimes the TOF device status will switch to manual then to ON then OFF

I have tried opening the web interface for the controller using hte latest firmeare...

and what i see is simialar but different..

It shows FEED A and counting down... not Feed B

I dont have anything programed for Feed A so nothing changes, but, my TOF is not being controlled.


BUT, SOMETIMES it will work... and FEED D will show up inthe status and the TOF status will read MANUAL ON and stay on for only 240 seconds...

that is only four minutes.

what is going on with the feed cycle? and is it related to the firmware, if not, I will repost into a different thread

thanks

can you do this???
i want to have the tunzes go to different speeds at different times of the day.
like:
when daylights off tunzes down to this speed
when daylights and actinics on to this speed
when moonlights on at this speed

 

[rsuplido]

What's the update on the latest firmware? Have all the bugs been ironed out already? Anyone using it for more than a month already with no resets?

 

[boret]

It is out of BETA available HERE

 

[MplsMan]

ok so i'm not sure if this is related to this,
i get a message on the computer saying:

unable to connect to controller
the responce code returned was 0
could not load url

everything works for viewing the controller status but havent been able to get the graphs since i've had the unit.

There is an alternate method that sometimes works better...

Download http://www.neptunesys.com/tftpd32.exe and follow these steps to update:

Put the tftpd32.exe executable, and the aqua.bin file from the firmware update package into the same directory.
Run the tftpd.exe application.
Make sure that the current directory field points to the directory where you extract the zip file.
On the DHCP server tab:
Make the IP pool starting address an unused IP address on your local
network (usually something like 192.168.1.50).
Set the netmask (usually 255.255.255.0)
Make the size of pool equal to 1 or more.
Set the boot file to aqua.bin
Click the save button.

Make sure that no other DHCP server is running on your local network.

Using the update command
1. download and unzip the firmware archive
2. run ACLOADER.EXE
3. Open a command prompt and telnet into the AC3
4. type 'v' then hit ENTER; note the firmware version
5. type 'update' then ENTERr
6. press 'y' when prompted
7. watch the ACLOADER window... in the white area, you should something see this:

.....................
Client 192.168.xxx.xxx:xxxx .\aqua.bin, 211 Blocks Served

8. wait 10 seconds, then hit ENTER a couple of times until you see "Connection to host lost".
9. telnet into the AC3 again
10. type 'v' then ENTER; note the new firmware version
11. type 'exit' then ENTER

That worked like a charm, thanks! Now if I can only get my outbound email alarm/alerts working like they did before the upgrade.....

iphone app works well too. very nice UI.

 

[ChrisOzment]

And yes, Curt's the man - corrected my DNS entry and all is good.

Since the iphone app alerts you, email alerts are not needed for iphone users unless you're emailing a work pc or something like that.

hmm, I must be missing something, the iphone 3Gs app I'm using provides the controller program and edit function but I'm not seeing an alert function other than that

 

[elahav]

So do I (3GS). I have all the timers,I am able to edit them, But I do not see the alert function and also do not see the red light (for OFF status ) in the timers status. (I do have the green light for ON) any hint?

 

[ChrisOzment]

If there is an alarm condition on the controller - aka temp too high, ph too low, etc and you log into the app on the iphone, it says "The controller is reporting a problem!" at the top and "Warning: ALM is ON for this controller!" in the middle. I have the 32GB 3GS if that matters which I dont think it does. IF I go to the iphone home screen I see a (1) on the aquanotes icon.

bump for a great thread

Anyone else notice on the graphs that when you switch to conductivity the display shows the reading in degrees F and not millivolts? The graph is correct, but when you move the pointer to different areas it shows the reading in degrees F.

I just looked at the xml files that controls the formatting of the graphs, and sho-nuff... not only does the conductivity graph show F, so does DO.

Purely cosmetic, and easily fixed simply by editing a file. (Lines 67 and 100 of setcond.xml)

BTW, mV is for ORP; the units for conductivity are µS (microSeimens/)

Running Vista and the uploader won't even open. Windows shuts it down before it gets a chance to open. FWIW, I DL'ed the 3.3 updater and it opens. I have V 3.3 already though. Any ideas?

 

[bigtex52]

Rich, try right clicking on the uploader icon and select run as administrator

BINGO!!! Thanks! I read this entire thread and must have missed that info. Now my iPhone app works like a champ too. I guess I need to wait a bit for the graphs to appear?

OK I took the plunge! So far so good. Updated without any issues.

For Vista/Windows 7 users:

1. Make sure you run ac3loader.exe as Admin. You can do so by right clicking on the exe file and selecting "Run as Administrator". Then click on YES to authorize access thru the firewall to the application.

2. Make sure you are in the "Firmware/Web Update" tab. (Ignore the "DHCP Setup" tab)

3. Type in your info in the fields (IP address of the AC, username, password and HTTP port).

4. Click on the "Upgrade Firmware" first. Takes about 15 seconds (in my case it didn't notify that the Upgrade was done, it only said something about the ./aqua.bin file --- sorry don't remember exactly --, so after a minute waiting I moved on to the next botton).

5. Click the "Upgrade Web Pages" button. After loading a bunch of files it displays a "UPGRADE COMPLETED" message.

You are done.

The iPhone app (ver 2.1) works great too.
