Technically there is, but it will require you to open the box and solder some jumper bridges with wires to short out the gain of the op amp that boosts the signal.
Another way is to use your ATO port. They output 0-5V PWM.
Something like this:
I don't think this is correct. A PWM determines the value between the width of each pulse, it still pulses at 10 volts right?
Sorry you are correct. I was thinking backwards. My brain is a little foggy right now, I've been up all night the past 2 nights working on a freelance video editing job.

Something like this:
pinMode(lowATOPin,OUTPUT);
analogWrite(lowATOPin,2.55*80); // set Low ATO port to 80%
When I set the pin mode, do I just set it in Setup and the analogWrite in the loop? Also I assume the RA libraries won't freak out over the ATO been used as a output instead of input correct?
//ATO PWM output
pinMode(lowATOPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(highATOPin, OUTPUT);
analogWrite(lowATOPin, ReefAngel.PWM.GetActinicValue() * 2.55);
analogWrite(highATOPin, ReefAngel.PWM.GetDaylightValue() * 2.55);
// This should always be the last line
ReefAngel.Portal();
ReefAngel.ShowInterface();
I am ordering new drivers in case I fried them. Any other ideas? I'd really love to find a testing device that can generate a PWM signal and a device that can test a PWM signal, but I have yet to find any.
I already ordered two 1000ma Steve... Thanks for the offer. I ordered the PWM Expansion Module, because it appears that is the only way people are having success... I would though hope that Roberto will add the ability to modify the voltage out of the relay pack PWM outputs in the future.
//ATO PWM output

The LDD drivers and the controlling device MUST share a common ground. You can't just send them a signal and have them work, they need to be properly hooked up electrically.
I know the ground from the RA ATO port was connected to the -Vout on the power supply. I was trying to use Roberto's suggestion of having using the ATO as a PWM 5vdc signal using the code shown in earlier in this thread, but the lights would just stay dark.
I went ahead and purchased the Dimmer module. I opened it up and put in the 5 vdc jumpers. I wired ther LDD white wire to the dimmer and the negative or ground of the DImmer module to the negative VOut on the power supply and the lights don't turn on at all.
If I disconnect the white wire from the dimmer module then I get 100% full on from my lights
Oh.
My bad. I didn't scroll down the code.
I just looked the top part.
You are correct. They are for the dimming module.
What do you see in the screen for the channels 0 and 1?
Is it showing 0 or some other number?
