Quick Question
So I'm ready to get the RA+ just need some help on what I need. Here is my setup and what I'm looking to achieve.
96x24x24 (240g)
- Jebao DC12000
- Reeflo Dart for CL w/ OM 4-way
- (2) Jebao WP-60
- (2) Ecotech MP40es
- DIY LED Fixture
- Build with 8up (1) Channel to Control LED's for Fuge then the other (7) Channels for the fixture
- (2) MH Fixtures
I need to know what I need to control all 8 channels for the LED's and then the (2) WP-60's so I can mimic the Vortech reef crest etc.
Thanks

Re: Quick Question
The dimming modules can only control 6 channels.
What I would suggest is get a 6 channel dimming module and use that along with the 2 dimming channels on the relay and then use the ATO High and Low ports to control the 2 Jebao power heads.
After that I think you are tapped out unless you can speak to Roberto about making a custom dimming module for you. I believe he was doing it for someone else, but I don't know what happened with it.
If you are not planning on controlling the DC12000 (besides on/off) you should be fine with the setup I laid out above.

Re: Quick Question
I think I recall Roberto mentioning that only one of the ATO ports can be used for Dimming.
Re: Quick Question
I think originally, but I seem to remember him saying that both can be used.
Whether both can be used at the same time that is another issue.

I need to double check.
Re: Quick Question
Sorry... I never double checked this 
But I'm pretty confident that RA+ can use both. I'll check it later tonight.
I have also done a 16ch expansion module custom module in the past.

Re: Quick Question
Oh you did finish that one for Josh. I was off of that thread for a while and didn't know if he ever finished his build.
Re: Quick Question
Awesome, thanks guys. I'll get with Roberto as I get closer to finalizing the system.
Re: Quick Question
Sorry for the delay guys....
I was finally able to confirm that RA+ can output 0-5PWM signal on both ATO ports.
