reef-pi :: An opensource reef tank controller based on Raspberry Pi.

[Twocorns]

I went with the pH kit, which comes with probe+ezo+bnc connector + 3 calibration solution + storage solution and cost 180$. I have not checked how much each of them individually will cost. After couple of months of testing, I 'll try to build a cheaper version (probably swap out probe and bnc connector) that will bring down the cost to below 100$.

When you're free can you take a pic of the ph setup on your perma board/breadboard? Thanks!

nice i did not have to redo all the setup !!

Yay, free benefits:-)

What language is reef-pi written in?

 

[Bronc]

English.

Backend is in go , front end is in react /JavaScript

Where's the config file saved in Pi? I want to modify an "equipment" name without having to delete the whole equipment via the web interface.

call me crazy but not having a favicon in the tab in the website is making me crazy lol
i am trying to do a favicon icon and save it to the root of the website in the assets folder but i can't make it appear, any idea ?

reef-pi configurations are not stored in file, they are stored in a database (boltdb, located at /var/lib/reef-pi/reef-pi.db) . The only way to update existing equipment name is to use the API. reef-pi API allows all updates, its just the fact that I have not got the time to implement update feature in UI (should be done sometime in future).

Here is an example of updating a equipment with ID 1

# get existing equipment details
curl -u reef-pi:reef-pi http://10.0.0.17/api/equipments/1 > test.json
## edit test.json to change the name
# update
curl -u reef-pi:reef-pi -X POST -d @test.json http://10.0.0.17/api/equipments/1

Going forward all new things in reef-pi wi

LOL, it will require code change, the http server in reef-pi is written in go and individual path (in this case /favicon.ico) has to be explicitly wired to serve specific content , in this case an image/icon.

I can add this , its a simple thing to do. It will be helpful if i get some suggestion /example reef-pi icon .

Thanks, i just spent 2 hours trying to make all kind of favicon and moving them around LOL
no matter what i did never made it happen hahaha

now i see why, i was looking for the reef-pi root, i found Home.html and played with it

but i now understant why it's not working hehe

i was comparing my Octoprint PI3 to understand how it was working,

i have this in the octoprint home page

<title data-bind="text: title">OctoPrint</title>

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/static/img/tentacle-32x32.png">
<link rel="mask-icon" href="/static/img/favicon.svg" color="#56BE37">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="114x114" href="/static/img/apple-touch-icon-114x114.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="144x144" href="/static/img/apple-touch-icon-144x144.png">

this would make a funny icon

We need somethig that combines pi and reef,

How about Fish pi ?
But now totally off topic
I dont run a sump so no need for one but would this work with the reef / fish pi?

you should be able to test this with reef-pi, in place of float valve or phjotoelectric sensor. no extra configuration or code is required. all of these sensors give digital output (kinda switch, 1 or 0).

could always go simple. Have to run out so only spent 5 minutes adding text to a path in photoshop on top of free clipart i reduced the number of colors present.

Reef version

 

[Ranjib]

Very very nice :) . Couple of things:
- The image has to be at max 48x48 pixel
- If we are using any established brand logo, (like raspberry pi) we need their explicit permission or at least research if this is allowed. The same goes for anything that might way to resembling to an existing brand logo,
I have added the code for favicon and a very advance logo, made by yours truly :) , we can update it soon as we find a better alternative, and we can experiment with it till we hit 2.0, after that, its kinda permanent,

I just found this thread man 182 pages lol is there any cliff notes?

What are you looking for? This thread is the history of reef-pi development :0) you can use it to seek help with your build or for general enquiry around reef-pi (or to read through its history)
If you are trying to build a controller start here: https://reef-pi.github.io/general-guides/
the same website also gives some overview of what all reef-pi can do, Its always a bit outdated, since reef-pi is under heavy development, and the website is updated after the newer feature has been tested stable and we know the details of all the electronics, assembly etc
