Profilux II plus aquarium controller

Matthias Gross · #1 01-02-2007, 04:17 PM

Hi All!

My name is Matthias, i am leading devloper (and BTW boss) of GHL.

Because we have had vacation the last days i could not response earlier.

However i'll try to give the best support here, let's start.

@niloc
These points are not correct:
- you assigned the port to 10002 - but as in the tutorial mentioned it must be 10001 (and please set the checkbox "Raw Data")
- you set the WLAN to default - by doing this all prevoius WLAN settings are lost, please do the settings with deviceinstaller again. The setting WLAN to defaults should only be done if there had been made confusing settings and it is not possible to establish a connection (eg setting WPA password and forgetting this)
- please disable the router function - this is only useful if you connect a second ProfiLux to your current device
- hyperterminal can't be used to establish a connection and to alter settings

I think that's it. Please let me know if you need further assistance.

@big blue
Thank you for coming to this forum and giving support

@All
I am glad (and proud) our ProfiLux now is available in North America - thanks to Jason and his staff - I hope you will enjoy your new aquariumcomputer!

Greetings

Colin, you are welcome, was not a big work for me to translate it. I made the manual because it took me the last time also some hours until I figured out how to get the WLAN card into my network. But just to give everybody here the right impression, it is not the Profilux who is the hard part to set up; it is the WLAN and Router of the home-network.

Please be informed that there is already a large potential of know-how related to the Profilux controller in the www.aqua-it.de forum and you are welcome to post your questions there in the English section. There are a lot of other Profilux users who will answer your questions much faster than here where we found your questions only with a hint of Matthias.

Regards
big blue

BTW to the staff of this forum: it is not my intention to draw away your users here.

thanks for the manual big blue but when i go into device/installer it does not locate any lantronix device. and if does locate one after about 15 searches it will lose the connection during setup.

I hope you had a good hoilday season. I Now have every thing set up except the leval sensor I did figure out the sensor holder though. Did you see my post asking about the power bar? I will recap just incase One of the out lets on one of the power bars seams to stick on some times the indicator LED goes out but there is still power to the outlet but only on this one outlet it dosent do it every time but once every 3 or 4 times any Ideas I have triple checked my programing and ir looks fine plus it dosent do it every time this is a head scracher. Now on to something completely differant (little Monty Python referance LOL) Do you have any of the propeler controlers? I bought the 5 fan propeler breeze just need the controler

Later Doug

@ niloc16: "when i go into device/installer it does not locate any lantronix device. and if does locate one after about 15 searches it will lose the connection during setup."

did you download the newest version of my tutorial as I wrote you? Follow again page 1 and 2 so you will see the card. Check if the device installer is really using the correct network as explained on top of page 3. With this methode you will for sure find the WLAN card.

I had the same problems when I was reprograming my card after I did the initial setup. After soft or hardreset of the WLAN card, the card has a total different range of IP as it had initally when you got it from fractory. This has to do with Windows and we all had to learn this the hard way as you do now.

We where looking at the first IP the WLAN card had, but it was not there. Only when you let your PC aquire automatically a new IP from your WLAN card by using DHCP the WLAN will tell you in witch IP range it is now hiding. But during doing this you must make sure that no other network (like your router or your LAN) is disturbing this process.

thanks Matthias

the only thing that has been hooked up to this outlet is my Power compacts the metal halids are connected to the other power bar and have not had any trouble with that one I will try knocking on it next time it dose this is there any way I can fix it if this is the problem

Thanks
Doug

Hi,
