WP-40 runs @ 100% while head unit resets

Post by Smotz »

I noticed the WP-40 runs at 100% while the head unit resets (during a code upload) :o . Any way to not have it do that ?

This pump will be in a 60gal and I am relying on the RA to manage it so it doesn't blow my polyps off.

I was trying to avoid dumbing down the voltage.

It does that with the moonlights too...i think it would take a hardware hack. The meanwell Lxx00H drivers do that too and the fix involves wiring in a resistor to ground. Not sure how that would get connected in this situation.

I wouldn't worry too much long term though as once you get your code situated you wont be uploading that much...another option is to disable the outlet to turn it off before you reboot...
