Robo-Tank Web App - Development

[Rob F]

Hey Rob! Wanted to check in and see how this is going? I’m excited to use it as I think it’ll be much better running macros and such. Plus I like that it has a UI that’s easy to read.

Hey albinochicken89, it's coming along nicely, been working on it steady since the last post. Made quite a few improvements and lose ends tied that can't be seen and also have the scheduling system complete turning outlets on/off. Now I'm working on getting the dosing pump system running. The backend isn't too difficult, it's the frontend that takes all the time, I'm rather picky and mess with the smallest detail way to long when it's not even a big deal haha. 

I haven't decided when I'll do a release, there's still things I want to complete first as my version of macros, call custom rules, ties everything together so without that there's no automation. Plus first impression is everything so I don't want to many UI quirks.

After dosing pumps I'm going to add flow meters which shouldn't take long, then I need calibration for pH and finally custom rules which will take work but I know what I want at least. At that point it should be basically ready to cover everything on the controller.

This is the dosing pump monitor, I can't say I like it too much, was suppose to look like my old controller but not so. Either way it'll work for now. I'll be doing the setting screens this week. This will auto update as they run. Eventually all UI colors can be custom but I will be adding it right away for the reservoirs, each can have it's own color.

To give an idea on how it works, if you assign a port as a dosing pump it will show up in the dosing pump widget, if you changed the port to a light it would prompt and be removed from dosing pump and show up as an LED channel, the system will always clean up after itself.

So yeah I'm getting excited to have it come together, really happy how it's coming along just a lot of work.
