    Still have room for 1 more? I'm still looking forward to becoming part of the NSR

    EMERGENCY- Tank just crashed....

    Have you checked for stray voltage? Seems to me that I've read somewhere (on one of the dozens of forums that I visit) that it can cause these exact issues. Then again, I could be confused ... I'm just a newbie. Brian

    The first part of the sketch, where the variables are defined like this: EEPROMVar<int> oneStartMins = 480; // minute to start this channel. This just establishes that the variable will be stored in EEPROM. The value assignment (= 480) just gives it something useful to use for the first...

    Those hieroglyphics just show that the communications rate don't match. Your serial monitor setting needs to match the setting in the Serial.begin(xxxx) statement. My stupid question - why does a post I sent at 8:47 have a time stamp of 11:47?

    in the Arduino programming environment, it is the last icon in the menu bar. clicking the icon will open a new window that "monitors" the serial port. it is where any Serial.print() command will send its output. uses the same cable you use to upload your sketch. There are also many applications...

    First thing, make sure your serial monitor is set to 57600, or change the serial.begin() in the sketch to match your serial monitor setting. This code displays the available options: void showMainMenu () { Serial.println(""); Serial.println("LED Control Actions"); Serial.println("L+...

    I'm really glad to see you all getting some use from this code. The current version supports changing the percentages for all the leds at once from the serial monitor. all max all min all a set percentage from 0-100 I suppose I should also add a "demo" mode that will quickly cycle through an...

    Thanks for the kind words. Tons of credit really goes to the folks at RC who designed the Typhon project. I made one of the boards, then modified the code with what I felt was a better menu system. Then I went crazy, and built a system that uses a mix of Arduinos (Mega, Uno, and some bare...

    Version 1 for trido will be done this weekend. 4 channels, concurrent dimming, easy to add more channels. Version 2 will add a complete menu/control interface through the Serial connection, since he has no buttons. I'm building these with the new Arduino 1.0 tools

    Goby and Shrimp relationship question??

    I have an orange spot goby, a tiger pistol, and two fire shrimp in my JBJ-28 with no issues for the last 10 months. Also have two peppermint shrimp that have been in the same tank for about two months now.

    Well, I have two different controllers that I built from the RC site, the Hydra and the Typhon. I also have several self-built from Arduino Unos and Megas. I've also built completely custom programs for them. So ... I may be able to help, and I'm in Woodinville. Brian

    I've been lurking too long!

    Hi all, I've been a member here for a few years, but just "lurking". Thought it might be time to say hello. I have few tanks, but nothing amazing. BC8 - Been up for 3 years. JBJ28 - Been up for 1 year. 20 Long - Up for about 3 months. 40 Breeder - Sitting in the garage, waiting for me to...

    January 2012 Get Together at Shawn O'donnells

    I've been a "lurker" on the RF forums for over 3 years. Actually lost track of the forum, and just ran into it again. I'm in Woodinville, and would like to actually meet some local reefers. I'll go post some info in the newbie forum. Is it OK if I just show up?
