Hi,

first of all hello to everyone, I am a reefer from germany and love this community, so much interesting stuff to read :). Furthermore the reef pi is awesome, thank you Ranjib!

Just set up a first prototype with temp sensor and some kasa H100 outlets (Don't have the H300 here :/). Works great to cool or heat the aquarium so far.

Never the less there is one main case I would like to use the controller and that's checking if there is any water too high (sink, refugium, ROID water tanks...). The idea is to connect several float switches to trigger a H100 with a plugged in alarm => As soon as there on sensor triggering, the alarm will start.

What is the best way to achieve that? I tried with ATO setting and it works but just for a short period because if one float switch is high, the rest is sill low => Short alarm (If any) then break because all other switches are low, then alarm again. This would be fine but in the worst case the timing is so bad that the alarm will not be triggered at all.

Hope I was able to explain it properly ;)

Greeting Fabian :)

Some photos from the switches, left one will be for the house sink, small ones for refugium and the second one from the left is for the ROID tank:

@Tom Bishop
Tom do you see this? Are you on 3.4 when getting the temp sensor errors?

@Ranjib this is the second person to be getting these interuppted system call errors on version 3.4 with all their temperature sensors
Yes, this is now being reported by multiple folks. I think it has something to do with new raspbian or Linux version (that’s coming with it), because it’s stemming from there. The error is happening at kernel /operating system level and reef-pi temperature sensor driver had no changes going in 3.4. I’ll continue researching in this, but one way to confirm this will be to run 3.3 on the same raspbian , and if it happens again that we know it’s not related to reef-pi version.
meanwhile let me do some research and report back to you ,

Yeah its an odd one, since if it was a kernel issue I would expect to see it on my other unit, I will update it to the latest software and see if the same error starts happening. The latest update updates a lot of interesting things:

Will see if it starts seeing the error also, it's been stable for sometime running 3.3.1 so lets see what happens. Will update the post if I see the error, will also look through the bug logs and see if anything has already been opened.


Code:

Yes, this is now being reported by multiple folks. I think it has something to do with new raspbian or Linux version (that’s coming with it), because it’s stemming from there. The error is happening at kernel /operating system level and reef-pi temperature sensor driver had no changes going in 3.4. I’ll continue researching in this, but one way to confirm this will be to run 3.3 on the same raspbian , and if it happens again that we know it’s not related to reef-pi version.
meanwhile let me do some research and report back to you ,
I can downgrade to 3.3 to check. What's the best way to do that?

So I have run sudo dpkg -i reef-pi-3.3.1-pi3.deb and got confirmation that my install is back on 3.3.1. I'll report back if I'm still getting the errors about the temp probes.

Alright hopefully this bug/issue is easier to resolve and the pH ezo board isn't toast... I rewired with a new non-isolated carrier board. I removed the flux from the solder joints. I found it at its usual address using i2cdetect and then after calibration I started getting this error

ERROR: Failed to json decode. Error: json: unsupported value: NaN

Any ideas?

@NeonRabbit221B did you ever figure this out? Noticed there were no responses & I've got someone asking about the same issue as well.

So far running latest raspbian update and 3.3.1 overnight and not a peep. The other one that is running 3.4.1 is still sending random emails, I need to re-do the flash in that one and will downgrade to 3.3.1 and see if the issue goes away.

Sounds like a plan

Hey devs.

my reef-pi build seems to get laggy every few days and eventually seems to restart. Not sure what the trigger is, but memory use seems to sawtooth, so maybe some sort of memory leak?

The reboot issue isn’t a terribly big deal For me, but is does highlight one other issue I think I need to fix: each time it crashes I lose control of the HS300.

@Ranjib I remember you saying there was a fix I could do for the network connectivity problem but couldn’t find it. Mind repeating what that was and I’ll add it to the manual while I’m at it.

I reached out to customer support and essentially determined that the evo board was fried. I swapped it out with the ph-board and it has been working fine.

I need to wire in 2 more dosers. The problem is I am out of GPIO pins. I do however have a PCA9685 board installed and running my other two dosers. Is it as simple has creating an outlet using one of the open PCA9685 pins and jacks on two more? Can the PCA9685 do both outlets and PWM jacks at the same time?

Also, since I don’t need reverse can I just bias one side of the motor to ground instead of running two jacks to each motor? If this where the case I could just do some reorganizing since my current setup is using 2 GPIO pins per motor.

Yes, you can, I am running both on one pca9685.

That is an other option, i have done that with a pca9685 running 4 docers, only one way (no reverse).

Awesome, both ways are possible but running off spare PCA9685 pins is much easier. I can just plug a jumper in without having to take the whole assembly apart to re route wiring and solder more pins.

Hope this is a good place to ask this.
But I have a 300w Marsaqua light and the Michael lane control board.

any Guidance on hooking this up?

I'll throw my 2 cents in to get this ball rolling..
Should be plug and pray..
Let others verify..

Probably need to unwrap that large ribbon cable so the 2 reach the board.
