Robo tank came in need to source a few cables, the power cable, and the db9 cable , the usb to usb cable I will source later as I am starting with only temp ,ph and power before adding the lights after which are coming in tommorow before I continue the setup
Glad it finally arrived, will be watching how it goes. I'm curious, is all the foam pieces in the box? It looks like its short and things would be shaking around, was that the case? When I close it up it almost has too much.
Yes sir that was a picture just after opening. The components did not seem banged up or anything. I believe during transport from the movement the peanuts may shrink a little also.
Is there a way to copy the image of that sd card to others to have spares that load the same way or does each have to be setup individually?
Ok so after some email exchanges with @robsworld78 he realized I had not added the analog input for the ph probe (face palm) so added it and checked the ph probe is reading !!! calibrated per manual and threw it in the tank and we got temp and ph readings done tonight!!!!!
reef-pi db itself is sufficient enough to recreate the setup. Pi configuration (boot.txt , i2c, one wire) etc are different and needs to be executed independently .So last night ended up helping @Danghost22 setup his robotank also. We both had a issue where we forgot out passwords and had to pull the sd card and manually go in and change some commands to reset then go back and erase the comands in the cmd text. My sd card came out fine loading and vnc working great. His on the other hand got corrupted and we ended up having to wipe and start over again. So note to self and others have spare sd cards. Now this is something me and @robsworld78 were talking about a while back. Is there a way to copy the image of that sd card to others to have spares that load the same way or does each have to be setup individually? @Ranjib
this is going to sound stupid since I have not yet mastered the pi where do I find the pi database?reef-pi db itself is sufficient enough to recreate the setup. Pi configuration (boot.txt , i2c, one wire) etc are different and needs to be executed independently .
/var/lib/reef-pi/reef-pi.dbthis is going to sound stupid since I have not yet mastered the pi where do I find the pi database?

Should be.does the raspberry pi recognize usb drives to copy it onto from the pi?
I used to do Velcro, now since I 3D print the enclosures, I just print them along with wall mounted bracketA little update, ended up finally connecting the power bar and figured out how to setup a time to turn equipment on and off. Just recieved the optical sensors for the ato and water level sensing will need to get a mount to setup soon, Have not gotten around to setting up the pwm for the kessil yet.
Here is a little explanation on how I set up the timer The manual explains a rough over view but I would like to add that you have to add a timer to turn on and then add another timer to shut off. This is what confused me along with how to set up the timing. So I added a timer with the outlet I wanted to turn off and inputed the hour to my desired hour and left min and sec 0. I then set action for equipment to turn on and stay on and saved. Opened a additional timer and did the same with the desired off hour and then set action for equipment to turn off and stay off.
Also mounted the robo tank to my wall with velcro. working on my cable management and how I would like my future controller to have everything. does anyone have any other ideas for mounting?
Thanks in advance and happy reefing
