  Vadim Teselkin • 02/17/2022 at 11:13 • 0 comments

  Firmware update to 2.5.7:
  - Added storage of temperature and PH statistics on the device, when the controller is rebooted, all data is saved.
  - For PWM timers, the on-off duration is now set in minutes from 1 - 120 min.
  - The temperature limit is set to 78 degrees, to control the temperature of not only water.
  - Correction of minor bugs.
  Upgrading client version to 2.0.7:
  - Optimization of sending and receiving data.
  - Ability to disable unused PH2 sensor
  - Calibration of PH sensors remembers the entered values.
  - Display the firmware version in the device list.

• Update to version 2.2.7:

  -The client has been updated to version 2.0.4
  -calibration PH
  -fix PH timers

  PH sensor calibration instructions:
  1. The sensor is calibrated against two test liquids with a known pH.
  2. The pH level of the calibration fluids can be anything (try to use any liquid with a pH between ~ 4.01 and ~ 6.86).
  3. We close the signal contact at the BNC connector to ground on the PH-45020 board, while simultaneously connecting the tester in the voltage measurement mode to the P0 output and ground. Rotating the tuning resistor (which is closer to the BNC), we determine the voltage interval in the photo, it is a shaded rectangle.
  4. Next, we set the trimmed resistor so that when the sensor's PH is immersed in both liquids, the voltages lie within the voltage range, this is not always the average value. (Point 3-4 is done once during the first setup)
  5. Next, immerse the sensor in solution # 1 with a lower pH, wait enough time for the values to stop changing. Press the button "pH solution No. 1" and enter the value of the pH of the liquid in which the sensor is immersed.
  6. Rinse the sensor and immerse it in the second solution, perform the same steps 

  as in point 5.
  7. Calibration is complete.
  ps Measurements are based on linear interpolation. Which does not always give high accuracy, but in this case, for our purposes, it is quite a suitable method.
  ps. Calibration solutions from China are very inaccurate, you can buy a pH meter for these purposes, although its accuracy will be even lower, but still it is the best option ...

• Firmware updated to 2.1.9

  Vadim Teselkin • 12/18/2021 at 12:04 • 0 comments

  Added support for PH (up to two sensors) (support for external amplifiers PH-45020)
  Added timers for PH sensors (two timers are used, one for each sensor) to control load channels.
  Added the ability to calibrate. Calibration manual + new client will be issued in the coming days.
  With the advent of a new type of timer, their priority has changed:

  PH - TEMP - MIN - SEC - DAY (i.e. PH will be with the highest priority then temperature then the rest ...)

• Add AquaController client
