Two different speeds for two different Jabeo pumps

Trying to search if it's possible to set different speeds for multiple Jabeo pumps. I have two in my display tank and one in my refugium that I want to be able to run at three completely different speeds. Is this possible?

Re: Adding support for 16 channel PWM expansion to libraries

This is awesome. I agree that 0-4095 is definitely better. I also have the 16 channel expansion, I haven't had much time lately to work with it, I just have it on a simple parabola program right now. I would like to keep the standard pwm expansion in my libraries as it runs my four dc pumps. I'll de...

Re: Questions from a Noob

The Bluetooth module is the only way to upload code without using the programming cable.

To set the date and time just push the joystick in and the menu appears on your display. There is an option to set date and time there

Re: Green on but nothing happen

You can replace the board and upgrade it to a + for 75 dollars.

PH calibration sudden shift, broken?

Mine is reading the exact same thing. 1.0. I tried calibrating it in 7, and 10 solution, but still reads 1.0. My whole setup is a little over a month old, so I don't think the probe age is a problem. I tried setting it in an isolated cup of tank water, I unplugged everything off my controller and ca...

Re: Recommended LED Driver for Lightning effects

I have them on a 16 channel module also, but I haven't figured out the code to create the lightning effects yet on the reef angel. The video I am going to post is only a few seconds long and is when I first started my tank last year. Looks a lot different now.

Re: Recommended LED Driver for Lightning effects

The ldd drivers work great for lightning effects, I can't attest to how well tent work with the reef angel yet, but if I could figure out how to upload a video I would show you how it looked.

Re: 16 channel custom board code

One more thing, "8,10,18,20". That is specifying the time. From 810 am - 620 pm. What increments can I increase the time, can I do one minute increments and stagger them to create the sunrise and sunset?

Which of the zeros are specifying the channel? I know what everything else is, but I am not sure what (0x41,0, means

Re: 16 channel custom board code

To start off I just want a default program that works. Just a parabola pattern starting at 0 ramping up to say 80% and then back to zero. I want to use this until I can put together the code that will do the more advanced functions. But this will be the program I can upload to run while I'm testing ...

Re: Fuge light opinion

And they technically could be ran off the power control module, so that would save a relay space if you had that module. It said 12v dc 500ma in the specs on that link. That would be a huge bonus IMO

16 channel custom board code

Roberto made me a 16 channel board, I got it a few weeks ago, but I am just now getting around to trying to set it up. I spliced it into my current light controller so that I can test and fine tune it before I use it as my only control of my lights. I am trying to get a sunrise, sunset from east to ...

Re: Fuge light opinion

I can't say if it will or won't grow chaeto, but of it fits in the back of your bio cube then I say go for it, especially at that price. I have grown chaeto with the most basic light setups, give it a go and let us know how it works.
