I have had mine for a while, and originally I reused a sd card with reef-pi already installed and the outlets and temperature probes worked fine, but I could not get the ph probe or any of the DC ports to work. So I decided to do a from scratch install following the manuals. After all is done, I went to add the drivers, and I can add the PH Driver no problem, but when I try to add the Extra Ports driver I get an error message.
{"error":Failed to create. Error:
remote I/O error"} | HTTP 500
Thanks,
Mike
PS: I have not installed this in the robo-tank yet. Is this the issue? Does it need to be able to detect the PCA9685 chip before it can install the driver?

Hi Mike, what version of reef-pi are you running? I believe v3.3.1 requires the PCA9685 to be present to add the driver but that has been removed.

So I swapped out the card and sure enough that fixed it. Also got the PH probe working. Now I need to figure out the DC ports
