Hi Ranjib, not on on the Reef-PI_HAT but yes on the Reef-PI_PWM module.the pca9685 address is configurable in this hat ?
reef-pi stores all its data in the file /var/lib/reef-pi/reef-pi.db. This file, along with the specific version of reef-pi which created the database file, can always recreate a reef-pi controller. Older reef-pi versions are available in github. Thus, users only have to make a backup of the database file periodically to backup their controller.Hi Ranjib, not on on the Reef-PI_HAT but yes on the Reef-PI_PWM module.
ps: Short question, how do I clean all settings in Reef-PI (I know it's written somewhere, but where?). Just upgraded to latest PI3 2.0 version, but am having some issues with the old settings so better start from scratch.

Found that in the first guide under testing[emoji4]
YesAwesome! Can't wait to get mine started.
Were you able to source all the board components from one place?
I think the added attachment should be readable. Do note following (out of preliminary documentation):
It should be noted that only very small 2.5mm plugs can be used due to the small distance between the PWM connectors. (Present view is CUIinc MP-2511, https://www.mouser.at/ProductDetail/490-MP-2511).
So if you intend to use the connectors as shown on the PWM board and you want to use >8 ports to order these at the same time as well. I'm planning to make some 3D printable housing for this connector to insert and detach from the PWM board
Yes, that's related to my earlier statement about housing and connectors. If you look at the fritzing boards, they use simple 2.54mm connectors. My thinking is how to connect the PCBA's to the connectors in a housing with sufficient cooling and water resistance. Personally I would not connect the PCBA's directly to the external equipment but preferable via water resistance connectors.This is looking simply outstanding!
I just hope the 2.5mm plugs do not present any issue as a number of people using 3.5mm plugs on their reef-pi builds have had multiple issues and moved away from them.

I have no clear preference at the moment. The connector you mention with IP68 is definitely a good thing. When searching for IP68 connector on Aliexpress there is also an interesting (blue) SP13 type of connector with cap. Also the discussion on the mini XLR connector is interesting. I'm a little puzzled on this topic at the moment;@wykat - is the attachment along the lines of what you're looking to find?
I got mine hereCan someone point me in the right direction to find the angled 2 x10 relay interface header? All i can find is the male version.
I got mine here
Thanks I've looked on ebay and they all come from China. I was hoping to find some in the US that won't take forever to arrive. I may end up just soldering wires to the board and then running them to a terminal block.
Yes I also couldn't find it outside of China, that's why I didn't have that connector on the 1st prototype board. Basically you can also use a male connector but my preference was female to avoid potential short cuts. Shouldn't be a big issue however. I've also stated that in the building documentation that you can use alternative connectors with 2.54mm pitch as well.Thanks I've looked on ebay and they all come from China.
