New build.

[Christopher Kindig]

As soon as I plug in EC stamp the board starts to glitch and tries to lock up if I reset withthe stamp on the board it will not turn back on, like hitting reset over and over.

[Fernando Garcia]

Atlas changed the default baud rate to 9600.

Using test code change to 38400.

Send:

Code: Select all

SERIAL,38400

[Christopher Kindig]

Ok thank you, I will try that after I drop my girls off at school.

Hi Fernando I just looked at your post with Rubin and I do not have the EZO selection in Ferduino tab, do I need to download new program from web?

[Fernando Garcia]

No, only copy this code: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=187

Maybe you already have this code.

[Christopher Kindig]

Hi Fernando,
Is there something in the code that has to be turned on for the dosing pumps to run automatically I have set them in custom screen for every day 60 ml over 4 dosing period and made sure they were on, but I don't they are working, I tested manually to make sure the circuit was and it works.

[Fernando Garcia]

Hi!

You need make a mark on reservoir to see if is emptying according to your dosage.

To test custom dosage, select an interval of 10 minutes and 1 dose then, wait to see if it works. The dosage will happen after 5 minutes.

Best regards.

Okay thank you I will try that when I get home from work, also I am doing more testing to find what happened when the board got shorted, so far I have found a bad network resistor and will replace it today. Is there a way to put a fuse on the ground side to keep this from happening?

[Fernando Garcia]

Put the fuse between power supply and power connector.

[Christopher Kindig]

bulk reef supply has a titanium rod to put in sump and connect to ground to help with stray voltage issues,I ordered one and will see what the results are. I also figured out my light issues I did not have a negative going back to ferduino from 5up board

[Fernando Garcia]

Hi!

A ground probe is useful to prevent shock too. Let me know the result.

You need give the feedback about LEDs on other topic and mark as solved.

Best regards.

[Christopher Kindig]

Issue with dosing pumps solved I forgot to turn them to true in ferduino tab.

[Christopher Kindig]

Still waiting on the ground rod from BRS. but did some other things in the mean time got the LED lights running, dosing pumps are all set up and ready to go, I did get a new EC stamp but I cannot use it till I figure out why the other one blew up same with the ORP stamp. Fernando this one is for you,I was checking the coolers jack witch should have 2 GRND by your schematics but one those GRND is live could that be the same line that is shorting out my stamps and the TX side of the Ethernet?

[Fernando Garcia]

Hi!

Only 1 GND live is impossible because all are connected.

Look to PCB design:

Best regards.

[Christopher Kindig]

yea it is confirmed, I have only 2 ground sorry my mistake.

[Christopher Kindig]

ph and temp readings are all stable now with the grounding rod from BRS. Is it okay to post a link for it?

[Fernando Garcia]

Hi!

Feel free to post the link.

Best regards.

[Christopher Kindig]

vertex ground pole.

As I found this helped allot with my readings and not a bad price ether .

[Ruben Wijnhoven]

Cool I am going to pick one of these up this afternoon let's see if it solves the readings for me too.

[Ruben Wijnhoven]

just tested the pin. For me it doesn't work it makes my readings worse.

[Christopher Kindig]

is yours the same as the one that I bought from BRS, what it is made matters very much.
