PWM Questions
Posted: Mon Dec 12, 2011 7:02 pm
Hi all,
I'm in the process of setting up my tank and choosing a controller and have pretty much decided on the Reef Angel. I've been reading here for a few days and am quite impressed with the abilities of the controller and the support that is offered here. At some point in the next couple of months, I'm going to be switching from MH to LED lighting and would like to have multiple channels controlled by whichever controller I choose.
Here's the setup:
3 - MeanWell 60-48P for Royal Blues
1 - MeanWell 60-48P for XP-E Whites
1 - MeanWell 60-48P for XP-G Cool Whites
I'd like to run each driver on a separate channel and have them ramp up like this:
RB1 - Full on @ 10:30am 30min ramp Off @ 10:30pm 30min ramp
RB2 - Full on @ 11:00am 45min ramp Off @ 10:00pm 45min ramp
RB3 - Full on @ 11:15am 45min ramp Off @ 9:45pm 45min ramp
WT1 - Full on @ 12:00pm 30min ramp Off @ 9:00pm 30min ramp
WH2 - Full on @ 1:30pm 60min ramp Off @ 8:30pm 60min ramp
I know I'll need to get an additional PWM module, but that's no biggie, but I'm wondering if this would be possible and if so how difficult to code?
Thanks!
