finding time todo these volunteer projects can sometimes be difficult. Especially if its the beginning of school and one has a family. Cut the people that sacrifice their time for free some slack please!Probably in the year 2287

Don't be. Its ok. I m lagging due to some personal hurdles , I'll be occupied sorting things out this year, but I don't believe the project will be impacted in long term. I am more focused on keeping the tanks going (thanks to the reef-pi controllers) during the crunch time. I'll keep you all informed, but expect that to be monthly or quarterly process and not daily or weekly. That said, I believe things will be back to previous times sooner . And my time availability is trending in positive direction
thank you for tagging along, reef-pi is bit busy offroading

Same here as I am an IT guy myself but sadly programming goes over my head. Apologies to all with my crap humour wasn’t my intention to offend anyone
Hi. I am using robo tanks reef pi controller. Works flawlessly with one exception. Every 6 weeks or so I am not able to connect to reef pi. I just get a loading page and have to unplug the controller and restart. I don’t believe this is to do with the controller as I had a simmilar issue with my own reef pi controller. Does this happen to others? Not an issue as it happened at the end of my holiday but could have happened earlier!

Can be a multitude of things like wether or not you are running raspbian buster or bullseye and the latest updates, can be your wifi/modem/router regardless wether reef-pi connected to it via cable or wifi as let’s face it home grade modems are ****e lol

Hello to all reefers
I have a general question about esp32 in connection with the mini pc. The esp32 constantly interrupts the WiFi connection and no, they are not far apart. max 2m.
I would like to use the miniPc instead of the Raspi.
Best regards

I use a UniFi Dream router whichs supports a dedicated 2.4 ghz. wifi (not that the reef-pi needs it to be clear I just run it on my IOT channel)... I chalk it up just like any other computer... and me for that matter... just needs to be rebooted once in a while

Sounds like the ESP crashes and reboots regularly, that's aknown problem currently. There has been an update on the PathVariableHandlers Library that has been used, if I recall my Emails correctly. Might try that and see if it helps.

It would be nice if you could help me, otherwise I can bury this with the mini PC.
It's no use to me if the wifi of the esp32 (which is no longer built on) keeps crashing. I also don't understand why you don't use the 266, it's at least stable when it comes to wifi, ic2 works because of the pwm module.

It’s not that the WiFi is unstable itself, it’s more that the code regularly causes memory leaks that we haven’t been able to fix yet.
Every time that happens, the ESP has to reboot, resetting the WiFi connection.
It’s fixable, we just haven’t found the solution yet. There is hope though.

Sry, did you mean the SHT 31 D ?
I think there is little difference between the different vendors, the chip should be the same.
Not sure if there is already a driver in Reef-Pi, but I should be able to adapt my SCD-30 interface in little time if necessary.
