add jebao wp25?

[kimacom]

Hi,

I am getting jebao wp25 x2 soon
I want to use one of them connect to my RA+
But i am already using two dimming port for LED day & actnic lights
Is there any other port i can use for jebao wp25 for control?
I saw some thread that ATO port can be used?
Please advise

thanks
tim

Yes I believe the ATO High port can be used, but you need Roberto to put a custom connection on the Jebao cable.
That will only control one of your pumps.

The other way would be the Dimming expansion module. You can control 6 devices with this module.

[kimacom]

Wow
That will be awesome if I can use it ATO one empty.
So do I need just a cable from here, right? And need special code?
Can't wait to see the pump controlled by my RA+

Thanks, man

[Sacohen]

Yes. Get the cable from the RA Store and ask Roberto to modify it for and ATO port.
Then just program the controller with the code you want for the pump.

There are several threads on the form with this information.

[kimacom]

I just ordered the cable!
How do I code for that works ?
I tried to find the code thru all the forum, failed!
Any idea?

Thanks

[Sacohen]

This thread is a duplication code for the Else mode of the Jebao...

Just got new cable but I can't find the code for ATO to wp25! Roberto can you help me?

And I have one more question, I upgrade wifi 4.0 firmware but potal did not showing current data? What do I need to do?

[Sacohen]

What are you trying to do with the WP-25. It's not a pump to be used for ATO (Automatic Top Off)?

[lnevo]

Think he's trying to use the ato port to control it. Do a search there's a few threads on the topic..

[Sacohen]

Oh that's right her is. I remember now.

Here is one of the threads on doing that.

I don't remember modifying any cable lately.
Was it instructed in the order that you wanted the modification?
Did I forget and messed up your order?

[kimacom]

Oh, great
thanks very much for helps
btw, i think i got normal jebao cable,
roberto, can you more details for this?

Only one ATO port can do PWM.

Code: Select all

pinMode(lowATOPin,OUTPUT);
analogWrite(lowATOPin,ReefCrestMode(60,20,true)*2.55);

The cable is designed to work on 0-10VDC signals.
You will need to mod the cable if you want to use 0-5VDC signal.
Take one resistor and bridge the pads instead.

do i need to open jebao cable and do something?
any pics to do this?

[rimai]

I actually updated that post...
There is no need for pads to be bridged. Only R2 needs to be removed.

[kimacom]

so, remove A or B?
just take it out?
no need other connection after take out?
sorry for noobies question.

[Sacohen]

It should also say R2 printed on the board.

I can see that A says R, but the PWM wire is blocking if it is R1 or R2, but B looks like the position of R2 according to Roberto's schematic, but I think I see a C1 there which would be the capacitor.

[kimacom]

haha, thanks steve
so you are not sure which is A or B,
maybe something behind yellow line could be B, i think
i will check when get at home!

[Sacohen]

I can't tell from the photo you uploaded. If you can get a shot from above I could probably see the printing on the PCB, but my point is that it should say R2 on the board somewhere. That will be the resistor you need to remove.

[kimacom]

I found R2. It's right next R1 seeing on the pic.
I didn't connect yet but remove R2 is easy.
Now I need to make code and update it and hook it up. Wish me luck

[Sacohen]

Good luck. I've never tried the ATO port.

[juszczyk]

Can the ATO Low port be used instead of High? I'm using the ATO High as backup for my pressure ATO.

[Sacohen]

I don't believe so. I think only the high will work.

[rimai]

I think it would on the RA+.

[Sacohen]

You know best Roberto, but I thought I read it was only the high ATO port.

[rimai]

Yeah. I know for sure the standard RA only has one ATO port with PWM capabilities, but I'm pretty sure RA+ has both.
I need to double check.

[lnevo]

Its not that tough to switch them..
