    I2C expander pca9685 driver install?

    I saw this too when I was trying to setup the pins... I thought maybe it was rebooting?

    I2C expander pca9685 driver install?

    I tried it with reef-pi and it doesn't work. I soldiered the A0 pads and ran i2cdetect... No joy... It lights up green, but it doesn't show up. I think it's either a bad board or I goofed it up somehow... Thanks for offering to replace it. I think I'll be ordering a spare controller and you can...

    DC Module Float Switch

    I like your solution. I've not tried it. I assume those float-switch ports interrupt ground and not the controlled source side of the circuit. If putting them in series with a float switch isn't possible, could you use separate float switches? You'd need like 3 of 'em. One to control your...

    DC Module Float Switch

    Good question. I like this idea. The float-switch would need to be mounted so that it's closed at normal level and open at high water. The switch and wiring would need to be able to handle the load of all the devices... *As an aside, in my sump, I've mounted a manual float-valve at the end of...

    I2C expander pca9685 driver install?

    I don't see that address when I reboot the controller. Also, it seems to switch the enable to 0 when rebooted... I've redone the process a few times now to the same effect... When trying to configure these pins in the app it won't save changes. When the expander is plugged in it acts up. I've...

    I2C expander pca9685 driver install?

    Still having trouble... I'm able to set everything up in the database, but when I try to make changes in the app, it won't save to the database. When I plug the expander into the I2C bus it goes offline. Maybe it's rebooting? I can't tell. It seems like the app isn't able to communicate with the...

    I2C expander pca9685 driver install?

    Today I triple checked I2C wires/connections and tried a fresh install on a different sd card. During the setup process, the same thing happened only going to black screen... Maybe I got a bad board..?

    I2C expander pca9685 driver install?

    After the expander is connected the app starts a driver install that gets stuck in a loop. The only way I've found out of the loop is to change the value of 'new' to 0 in phpmyadmin. Afterwards, it seems to have created a driver but I'm not able to find those pins? I noticed that the old...

    AC outlets vs Reboots

    Mine does this sometimes as well. I've noticed no pattern or reason. I do have battery backup, so I only deal with this when I purposely reboot it... *I've also noted that it will sometimes ignore the sump water level sensor and run the pump anyway...

    Robo-Tank v6.7 is Ready

    Just an update: Version 6.7 dosing has worked flawlessly for the last three months : ) I'd really like to be able to get email and/or text alerts. Will that be fixed in version 6.8? One little thing I'd suggest is getting rid of the 'moon' and blank place holders at the top of the main page and...

    Robo-Tank v6.7 is Ready

    Version 6.7 is working great for me. I've been running dosing schedule for 3 weeks now with no issues! The only change I'd like to see is another place value on the reservoir size limit as I dose kalk from a 5 gallon bucket...

    DHT22 temp & humidity sensor issues

    I've tried 2 different sensors and both freeze up randomly. The only way to get them going again is to un-plug/re-plug them. Is there a fix for this or an alternative sensor..?

    Robo-Tank v6.7 is Ready

    Hmm... I have three dosing pumps setup. They are all dosing and charting correctly : ) But, two of them are not subtracting the dose amount from the reservoir remaining amount. The value just stays the same... Edit: I figured it out... With the reservoir disabled it does not subtract the...

    Robo-Tank v6.7 is Ready

    Alrighty then... I've got 6.7 fresh installed and running... I'm running the dosing from smaller containers that have only 2 days worth of liquid, during testing, as a precaution... *Also, I had to do the fresh install with the ac power bars disconnected. When fresh installing with them...

    Robo-Tank v6.7 is Ready

    I tried it and had trouble as well... On the "Settings" page some of the buttons would take me to the wrong page. I went back to 6.6
