My best bet?

Hey all.. I need a new piece of equipment, but debating what would be best.. I currently have

Ra+, with pwm relay modded 0-5v, pwm dimmer expansion 0-5v old style that cannot be changed to analog
Power Control. Module
Expansion module..

I need to control
2x jebao and 1xwaveline
2x Apollo led.

What I am debating..
I can either get analog dimmer expansion this way I believe I'll have no. More use for my pwm expansion

Or for 10 dollars more I could get analog relay expansion have more ports, but I'm not sure if I can control my pumps with the pwm expansion..

What do you guys think is my best bet?

The jaebo pumps can be controlled by either analog or pwm. The new dimming expansions have jumpers and can be configured by channel for pwm or analog and 0-10v or 0-5v

I was aware the new expansion modules ability to change with jumpers.. I bought a few months to early I guess.. Thanks for the feedback.. So for controlling the jebaos and the waveline the pwm 0-5v dimmer will work fine? So I could conceivably just buy an analog relay module and I'll be good?

I believe you need to mod the cable but it is doable.

You will not be able to use the dimming on the relay expansion

I was planning on moving my current relay to the expansion and using new one as primary.. That possible right?
