That's what I said. NTM is 2 phases.
It's actually a combination of short pulse and long pulse combined in one mode.
It starts with short pulses and after x minutes, changes to long pulse that lasts for y minutes.
That's what I need to know.... x and y :)

I know it might be considered 2 phases, but it doesn't seem like it to me.

In my experience, I'm seeing:

1) Short pulses for about 20-30 minutes to generate massive wave
2) Surge @ 100% for 30 mins?
3) Long pulses for ?

Thats what it seems to me.

This is what I got.
Data was sniffed out of an ES driver.
All I gotta do is match now :)

This weekend was very productive!!! :)
I got a prototype board and enclosure made. I'll post some photos in the next couple days.
I also got 2 way communication of RF expansion module and RA.
This will allow for feeding mode to be initiated either through RA or Ecotech driver.
Release date is probably about 6 weeks.
I'll be opening pre-orders very soon.

This is the Tidal Swell Mode from the ES driver.
I feel it is very different from the picture presented on the manual.

Sneak preview.
It's slightly bigger than the wifi attachment.
The LED is RGB and changes colors to match the same colors of the ES driver.

I was having some fun today and decided to create a brand new mode :)
I call it "Storm" :)
Here are the graph of the waves:

Oh, I almost forgot... :o
I also create a "Custom" mode that lets you have full control of all 3 channels, so you can go crazy and change the speed of any channel individually at will :mrgreen:

Yes, it can be done on the wireless version of ES drivers. I have never tested on the standard non-ES driver.

Hey ,
Roberto would it be possible to drive the pump off the PWM Exp.? No driver .I was just thinking since it does run off 12Vdc when on the back-up. just thinking out loud :)

Nah... That would require way much more work that would not be worth doing, when comparing to the cost of the driver.
