New AquaController 3/3 Pro Firmware

when using the iphone app with the 3Gs iphone I cannot turn outlets on or off, nor can I save any changes to the program when editing, anyone else experiencing these problems?
 
I have some problems that started when installed the latest updates on my AC3 and AC3Pro.
AC3 Problems
I have my dosing pump set up to dose my tank twice each night a few hours apart. It has not been working for some reason. I added more load to the circuit via a small light and have tried it on pore 4 and eight. I can use the web interface to manually turn the pump on and off, and it will turn it off in automatic mode, but not on. I have tried it with and without this line>
If Time > 00:00 Then DOS OFF


DOS&-A08

If Time > 04:00 Then DOS ON
If Time > 04:04 Then DOS OFF
If Time > 07:00 Then DOS ON
If Time > 07:04 Then DOS OFF
If FeedB 000 Then DOS ON

Another problem on both my AC3 and AC3pro is after using the web browser to check the status of them, I can not log in to the controllers with aqua notes. I have to reset the controllers and then I lose my logs. I am guessing the web browser is not logging out of the Aquacontrollers properly, but how do i fix it?
Also because of this I do not get my daily status emails or alarm emails.
 
Okay, upgraded firmware, but I can't seem to get a program update to go through. Is it the firmware or some issue in my program? Anyway to see the errorlog?

After the firmware update have you confirmed that the PX1000 was scanned and appears and have you verified that the ORPA is enabled?
 
Oops, sorry, screwed up the XML Status info when trying to highlight that ORPA does indeed show up and report. It exists and is reporting status.
 
Looks like the program update feature in general, as I'm also unable to change "If TmpA < 77.0 Then HET ON " to "If TmpA < 76.0 Then HET ON "
 
Okay, after rebooting the controller, I'm able to update the program again. I'm not sure if it's related, but I did update the program last night via the iPhone app. I think I read someone else had this problem after accessing it via the iPhone app, but I could be mis-remembering.

Any way to get a reboot feature on the Aquacontroller's web interface, so I can remotely reboot it?
 
How do I update the AC3 Pro using the serial port? I am updating form version 3.20.

My controller is on port 1059

I keep getting this error message: Error at socket(): 10065
 
Okay, I finally got the update to work. Now I don't have any graphs in the remote web or the local network browser.

I just get a little drop down box showing Temp & pH but when I click on them, nothing happens?

The web interface shows these options:

Net Setup
RSS Feed
XML Status
XML Datalog
XML Outlet Log

But the home net work interface does not show these added options? Is it supposed to be that way?
 
I have had 3.4 running for quite some time and just referred to the graphs, only to find out that they dont work for some reason.

What is my course of action to correct this.

thanks for any help
 
I just updated my AC3 on Sunday night (from 3.0 to 3.4), and it has been running great for 4 days now. I can see all the graphs, I can update the program via my iPhone app, and I can turn timers on/off with the iPhone app. Everything is working great.

Just don't want people to be scared to update... not everybody is having problems.

I also am unable to see the graphs when viewed via the web.

Any thoughts???

Initially, after installing there will be no log data (the AC clears the logs on reboot) so if you still see no graphs the most common issue is that you have an old version of flash on your PC.

I too am running the latest firmware on the ACIIIpro along with the 3Gs iphone app, however though the iphone app runs fine, receives data fine, shows all the outlets on/off fine, I cannot control anything. I can't turn anything on or off unless I set the ACIIIpro outlets to manual (instead of auto) but then the program will not control them. Also cannot modify the program from the iphone. So essentially I can read but not write. Any thoughts?

Have you tried:

https://www.kenargo.com/tankManager

Not specifically an iPhone app, it is a mobile website that works with the Apex and AC3 and control is available.

You can see some screens from various phones here:

Does anyone know how to turn off the DHCP on an Airport Extreme so I can perform the firmware update.

Thanks.
 
If the currect version is 3.2 or greater then you can use this method and not worry about disabling DHCP:

Option A
--------
Otherwise you must use option B to update the firmware.

Extract the files in the zip file into a new directory. Run the ac3loader.exe application.
On the Firmware/Web Update Tab enter the login and password of your AquaController.

Put the IP address of the AquaController in the IP Address text box.

Click the Update Firmware Button.

The firmware update should take about 15 seconds.

actually, I just tried using safari, entered my ip address, logged in and was able to control everything that way, works for me! :D
