I finished pain job for one of the final pico reef controller housing. It sky blue, all in one (prime + paint) for wood. Golden braces and screws looks nice against the sky blue paint. Here are some pics:

Great thanks! I am comfortable with assembly, (with direction) but have no clue about the ui or programming. I found the code stuff via your links but am reading up on how to implement once I get the pi running. Parts are due in tomorrow. This is my first venture with pi!

You should not need any programming or UI staff, other than editing some configuration files in the raspberry pi. I am strong in programming I can address if you encounter any bug, I need help with electronics,

Pi up and running. After install of reefpi it says running but when I try to access it the local host rejects me. I am sure it's something not configured right on my Raspbian install? Any suggestions?

What configuration you are using ? Your configuration is in /etc/reef-pi/confirmed g.yml file, can you share that ? Also output of 'ip a s' command, to check what network interface pi is using. Are you accessing the dashboard from other device , like computer or phone or from the pi's display itself ?

Will check it out when I get home. I am having difficulty finding the reefpi files in the pi structure.

Thanks for baring with me. I am a pi noon!

Doing a program search in the terminal shows reef-pi is installed. The config.yml file won't allow me to save any changes. It states can't open file to write. I have the pi hooked to a monitor and am trying to access reef-pi direct from the pi, not from a remote device.

Ok figured out how to change values in the terminal. What lines do I need to reconfig? I think I'm getting there. The good thing is this process is being tested by someone who's never tempted any programming! I was up till 2 playing with trying to get this going!

`dpkg -l | grep reef ` will show if reef-pi is installed.
`sudo systemctl status reef-pi.service` will tell if reef-pi programming is running or not. Let me know if you want to do a quick hangout, and we can fix the glitches

yup, its running. Is the raspberry pi connected to internet via wifi ? If so, change the config from `interface: eth0` to `interface: wlan0` , also change the address from `address: "localhost:8080"` to `address: "0.0.0.0:8080"` . And restart reef-pi service `sudo systemctl restart reef-pi.service` . You have to be root for all the things (sudo )

`dpkg -l | grep reef`, theres a space in betwee dpkg and -l :) .

Figured I'd leave those lines in the pic so you could see that I have no clue!

This is super fun though! I am an electrician by trade so wiring and building is no big deal but programming is foreign to me.
