Jabeo controller help

Post by Guppy breeder »

My jabeo controller went out on me last night, I was wondering if there was anyway I could DIY my own controller? Has anyone done this? I know the reef angel can control it, but I don't have enough cash to buy a reef angel.

You could build one out of an arduino. But some soldering and coding may/would be acquired.

You gotta have so many post to pm. Lpf=low pass filter. It will smoothen the pwm signal to a closer to linear one. Requires a resistor and capacitor.
