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

[Ranjib]

I2c is enabled , have doubled checked the wiring which is pretty basic and it appears correct . Reading the docs on the EZO maybe it needs a reset. I was hoping someone ran into this and has the answer.

Ezo circuit ships in uart mode, you have to follow their docs to at least configure it to work in i2c mode, after that reef-pi can take over.

I'd like to try this! I'd have to learn Python, but I've had 3.5 out of 4 years in Network Management which included some Linux, programming, and a host of other useful courses. Shouldn't be too difficult. Besides, an Apex right now is way out of my reach. I've already downloaded Rasbian on a VM and the source code and stuff from Github to see what's up. I'll have to get an actual Pi and have a go at it. This thread rules!

Welcome to reef2reef, most development specific chatting happens on the slack channel (link on the first post). reef-pi is written in go and react . Let us know if you need any help getting started. You don’t need raspbian or even , Linux to develop it, I develop it on MacBook, I know folks who uses windows , and I am pretty confident it works on Linux (since raspbian is Linux ).

Hit the edit button, then don’t make any changes and hit the save button.

Bru!!!!!!!

That worked like a charm!! Thanks a lot man.

Thanks, @jhoop and @Ranjib that did the trick. I remember reading thru the datasheet at one time and was wondering if I needed to do that manual step (short the prbgnd to tx) but since it wasn't mentioned in the build guide I figured maybe it wasn't needed. It's up and running now.

I guess we are neighbors ! I live in Hinckley Ohio !

Well hell, you could have come over and fixed it for me lol! Good to meet you, neighbor!

It sure is a fun project to work on !

Duuuuuuuuuuuudes...it's aliiiiiiiiive.... https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/my-reef-pi-build-thread.535081/page-5#post-5868552

Gotta learn Go so that I can write something to actually control my power strip from this beast now. It's all set to do pH monitoring once that's available, too...

@Ranjib is there a way to delete readings from a particular sensor? I'd like to sync up the tank and sump probes, so deleting their readings so they start at the same time would be ideal.

Nope :-(. Delete the whole temeperature controller entry and recreate a new one with the same sensor

I thought that might be the case. That'll work..don't need them synced down to the second.

Nice. DLi API was on my list, but I’m currently making a quick driver for the Kasa TP-Link units since they’re inexpensive, and the local control protocol is known

Tank is humming along , changed my ricordia island location . It’s puffed up now ,
Here’s a iPhone shot

After almost three months of closed up/half closed up state (I blame cyano), grandis have finally started to open up fully.

Got a new drag of alveolar , my last one was killed by micro goniopora sting . Hopefully I’ll be able to find a suitable place for this one ..

I have grafted these blondes from their original zoa island to make some space for the acan lord there

Old horse yellow lepto is going strong , one of my favorite

Another new addition , a millipora . My lfs (Neptune aquatics ) is a really good store ,

Going forward polyp extension of this frag will be a good indicator of my tanks health.


Chili pepper montipora

Another new addition, a tenius

My red dragon is showing some new growth after the tank move , finally , past three months have been rough

Been slimer

Beautiful...im currently lookimg for.a.smallish cube(29 gal or so) to try a first time saltwater tank...lets see what the craigslist gods offer...lol

Nice. Mine is a biocube . They are very sturdy, but I had to mod a lot. I won’t recommend this tank. Red Sea reefer 170, IM nuvo 30l , IM ext , water box all are better option . Let me know if I can be of any help

Yeah but we all know linux is the best! ;)

Very nice! Looking like you have it dialed in really well.

If the DLI is still on your list, lmk and I'll do what I can with some free time on weekends to assist.
