Robo-Tank v5.0 is Ready

[Rob F]

This morning the ATO ran for 2 hours until I came home and pressed the resume button. I have the maximum run time for the ATO at 30 minutes.

Ah brutal, sorry! I wish I could experience these things, every time I test it works.  I'll have something tonight to try, going through everything.

Glad you were able to get something working Addi.

Hello Rob, I have a 7 inch cpld display and the icons on the screen are mirrored, the font is partly correct. The same problem as Addi.

I have reinstalled everything (incl Arduino), selected the correct display in the script and swapped the calibration file UTouchCD (in the current manual there is no indication that it needs to be swapped), obviously this is a problem with the CPLD display.

Can you solve that, please?

Hi Roland, can you try replacing the libraries for the screen to the libraries from v4.2. After doing that make sure all instances of Arduino IDE are closed and then reopen it otherwise it won't see the changes. You were correct to change the UTouchCD but that's only for touch.

Hey Rob,

I upgraded to 5.01 and everything worked great for about a week. I lost power to the controller and my display would not progress past 1 bar. I upgraded to 5.02 to have the most up to date firmware/software and I am still getting the same result. I have left the controller powered on/connected and the display will not progress past 1 bar. None of my accessories are functioning, and my power bar has not responded to any signals from the controller despite being plugged in (I suspect due to the fact the controller is not booting properly).

I reloaded 5.02 twice, and the only error I received was that the controller could not initialize the SD card because the "index.html file could not be found", however the only file in the 'files for controller microsd card' folder with a similar name is "index.htm" (specifically '.htm', not '.html'

What steps should I take to resolve this? Most of my equipment has redundancy, except for my ATO, which on a 150 gallon tank with 40 breeder sump @78F results in just under 1 GPD evaporation, which is my main concern

Hi jlysaght3, when you lost power originally was that the fault of controller or something else? 

I checked the code for that .html error as I thought I changed the file to .htm, turns out I only changed the file not the message so it is searching for index.htm which it isn't seeing. 

I assume This should read 50: has 255 at the end or does it have a 50?

Do you have anything connected to the SCL/SDA pins?
