You have to update libraries and change/replace the name in the code. I went to an older laptop that had arduino software version 1.6.6. It had no problem compiling and uploading Iaqua 2.5.1 using the files/libraries from the download as it recognized the out of date libraries.

I have a question of my own. My iAqua is currently controlling a DIY LED. I'm having a lot of issues with the screen/software crashing and I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting. The best symptoms I can give is if I turn it on cold I can get into most all the settings, except almost always the page where you label the LED color channels. Trying to go to that screen results in it loading for 1/2 second then the screen going white. When its been on and running for awhile it gets more and more difficult to get into any of the settings. It will never crash on its own if I don't touch it. Once it gets warm it will crash repeatedly trying to get into the settings screen. Unplug and let it cool for 10 min I can again get into settings screen for a while before it starts crashing again. The temp association makes me think its a hardware issue but the fact that it will run fine all day if I don't touch it also makes me think software... lol.

Do you have another SD card you could try? If its only having issues when going through the different screens it could be due to having issues loading images from the card. Not sure, just a thought.

If you want to eliminate temperature as an issue grab a fan (PC or just a giant room fan, whatever) and point it at the controller, then if it still has issues it's likely not temperature related. If it works perfectly then it could be the LDO overheating or maybe it just draws more power in general when warm and the supply can't handle it.

So the culprit is arduino 1.8.5, i suspect it, but instead of using v1.6.6 i am doing the hard way, if i had known it earlier it would save me lot of times, thanks anyway, i will try it again on v1.6.6 on my spare board.

I also get some graphic problem when running longer, i only use the usb power and i connect only LCD+TFT shield and RTC, my problem is that when startup from cold, the display ran perfect but going to some menus i got some color like green color here and there also the icon get blurred, i suspect my card, but didn't have spare yet, i had some card like the card from old Nokia cell phone which do not have the locking switch but i could not make them run, so i grab a card from my old fuji camera and it works but now just like your problem. Can it be the ILI 9341 LCD, i use TFT_320QDT

Just curious, what is the relay Light1 & Light2 used for? Is it to connect to the power supply of RGBW driver??

looks amazing, congrats!!

I tried another SD card with no difference. I found and ordered another screen off Amazon ili9841 or similar. I also ordered a cable for the screen as I work on starting to make a housing. I plan to trying a different mega and different combinations of screens and see if there are any changes.

Hi,

At the bigining, I had the same problem.

Solved with changing SD card speed.
In the main INO file, search for

// init SD card

and change speed value
sd.begin(ChipSelect, SPI_FULL_SPEED);
//sd.begin(ChipSelect, SPI_HALF_SPEED);

I hope it can help!

@Le Gui.

Seeing your board what mosfet you use to control your LED Strips?

Hi!

Mosfet are "STP16NF06L" N-Chanel, 16 A 60 V A-220, 3 pin

i'm glad to see that this post is still active and all the transformation this controller has been through.

I tried this and no change in how mine is behaving

My secondary screen arrived and the proper cable to mount the screen away from the board. The cable works great... but turns our the screen I ordered doesn't have touch capabilities... lol facepalm/

I took a short video of how my iAqua behaves. Its almost impossible to get into 'Color' settings. I've done it maybe twice. It will load partly for a spit second then white screen. Then as I mess with it, it starts white screening going into settings or on other pages. It will only crash when navigating to a different screen. I'm still unsure where the issue lies... if its hardware issue, software crash, only screen crashing, or something else entirely.

Edit: I let it run with the screen white this evening and it properly ramped down the LEDs from sun to moon settings while the screen was white. So the software seems to still be running?....

I'd almost think it was one of the images on the color screen but there's only the two. Try commenting out lines in "void screenColor" to see if something in that function specifically is causing an issue. Start with the lines where it loads the raw files.

Thanks for the help! I started troubleshooting at this point and seemed to be having success commenting out the color screen images when I was hooked up to the computer. However as soon as I switched back to using the 12v input on the shield same problems again. Could this be a power issue with a regulator on the board? I started trouble shooting with 5v or 12v power at the arduino- I can load the color screen fine. 12V at the shield - white screen at the color screen, 12v at shield and 12v or 5v at the arduino - white screen at the color screen. I tried a second mega and 12v at the shield and no change.

Do you have a second 5V power supply? Maybe try disconnecting the LDO and run each rail (5V and 12V) from it's own supply.
