Robo-Tank v5.0 is Ready

[Rob F]

Ja ok , ist nachvollziehbar aber bei version 4.2 ging das doch mit den sonden

I knew you were going to say that. :)  Unfortunately I don't have a good answer but I know quite a few people have had trouble getting their circuits to work overtime as it seems to lock up the I2C bus. The fact you tried just the PH and it worked for a while, then the clock went bad, that points at an I2C issue as the clock is on the bus as well, when the time goes bad it's because the I2C bus broke. I2C pins can't handle a lot and when its on the edge it can cut out like you experienced. I know it doesn't make much sense but it's possible it was just on the edge of working before. 

Thanks Rob, I updated to 5.01 with the cards connected to the arduino and this time it worked.

Glad to hear. 

Let me put it this way, I didn’t update yet so no experience with v5.x
But with V4.2 when you switch from F to C the values aren’t changed by them self.
So if the controller is set to switch on @70F and of @77F and you change it to C the controller will switch on below 70C and switch off @77C

So you need to change those values as well

Thanks for trying fietsenrex, doing that this time won't help. The temps are auto converted on the display but when I added control on the controller I didn't think twice about C so this time it only works with F.

Reset controller,  heaters now work but only if set in deg F, if I change display to deg C they turn on and stay on.
ATO is still not working properly,  says float is open instead of closed.

Oh and the on screen keyboard had stopped displaying, it works but cant see what I am pressing lol

Sorry Rob, as you see above I screwed up with heaters and forgot about C, I'll get that added soon. 

For the ATO it sounds like the float just needs reversed, if you take the tab off the bottom you can pull the float off and turn it around so it works opposite. 

Sounds like you installed v5.00 not v5.01 or you missed copying the images from the v5.01 download package. There was about 8 images I forgot and all the ones for the weather and yes one of those images is that keyboard. :)
