This is a problem for me because I restrict my drain so I can create a full siphon. Thankfully, I used the code Roberto gave me to shut off my pump when my overflow reaches a certain height. But this just creates a cycle of off and on on my pump since it is running at max speed. Has anybody heard if Jebao fixed this in a new controller? I don't want to have this happen when I'm away for an extended period of time.

I contacted fish street, who I bought this from, about the problem. They are going to send me an updated controller that fixes this issue.

Running into another problem in that I need to run through my loop as close as possible to every 20ms for this to work which is not happening.

otherwise all I get is random jitters from the motor

code examples I have found have sketches that control only the motor and add a 20ms delay in the loop. Is their a way to determine how long it takes to run through the loop?
Any other ideas?

Did you ever get this to work correctly?
