Re: Relay Box with PWM?

I'd never thought about LDD. I'm moving in that direction with research now. So the older boxes that I have are PWM as well only up to 5V? Or are they possible analog? I'll probably end up needing to buy a couple more items (building my shopping list now). I have done "D" series drivers th...

Re: Relay Box with PWM?

Thanks Roberto! I think one of other ones might have it too, but I suppose I'd have to open it to find out. Two other hopefully quick questions: 1. If I have two PWM boxes, can I control 4 channels? Or am I only able to use the two on the primary box? 2. Do you know if PWM allow "deep dimming&q...

Re: Relay Box with PWM?

Well, you were right. I have 1 box with screws on the top cover and two with screws on the bottom. If I remember correctly, you sent me a booster for one of my early boxes. Are all of these boxes PWM? Or are they analog? I am trying to wrap my head around PWM vs analog dimming. What about the I/O ex...

What fits on a RA Standard?

So I have two RAs. The one I use for my main tank and the back up one that I bought originally. I am trying to setup the basic RA (RA Standard) to run a temporary nanocube. The problem I am finding is that NOTHING fits! I have downgraded to 1.0.9 libraries and 1.0.7 libraries... still too large. I a...

Yup yup, should work well when I want to take pictures or show someone what something looks like under different lights. I'll probably use the blues if I want to keep the tank on longer late at night for guests. Who doesn't love the neon blue effect?

The best part about the RA is that it allows you to automated as much as you like. People are coming up with new ideas daily. I've already been a firm believer that the less you mess with your tank (other than water changes and glass cleaning), the more stable it is. The RA allows me to keep my tank...

Re: RF Expansion Radion Control Issue

Troubleshooting continues... So after you do a factory reset, does it pick up the RA's RF module signal right away? Or does it go to 10k/14k/whatever and you have to press something? I'm 99% sure I am in basic mode as I can change modes from 6.5k-20k, but still not seeing what the RA RF is sending. ...
