Minnow Not Responding

[Jimguzdziol]

Brand new minnow. Using power supply in the box. Hooked up to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. Calibrated both heads OK. Set up a simple dosing regimen, not smart not dynamic. Waited until time passed, and the log shows that the dose occurred, however nothing happened. Attempted to set up a manual dose and also nothing happens. Tried rebooting status, nothing. lights are green. Removed and reinstalled the pump head. Recalibrated. Performed a manual dose, ok. Waited for a second scheduled dose, nothing. Attempted another manual dose, nothing. I am going crazy…

Can you post screenshots of your output settings and the settings in the schedule. The Minnow dosing pumps are smart dosers and need to be setup as such and have a external schedule setup using them as the doser.

Thanks for the reply. I selected “Simple Doser” because it was just one dose per day without any inputs. But apparently you are selecting the type of hardware you are using (Minnow, a smart doser)

There is a Hydros dosing pump that is called "Simple Doser". It hooks to a drive port and runs when powered. It is just single speed around 43ml and when you calibrate you tell the Hydros how much was dosed in a one minute dose. Then Hydros can take than and calculate how long to run the pump to get the desired dose. The smart dosers have more than one speed and can also run in reverse but you cannot use reverse when dosing since the reservoir amount is calculated by how much you dose and running in reverse will add to the amount instead of subtract from it when dosing. Once you set the speed calibrate using than speed and also use that speed in the schedule also for most accurate results. The Minnow has three speeds 25, 40 and 55 so make sure and use one of those speeds.
