    (Another) Arduino Light Controller DIY build.

    Thinking it may be possible to assemble the project in a stack seeing most components lend them-selves to go into each other. Just a thought. Saw a guy on YouTube who bent the unused extension pins out at 90 degrees and tapped off the side of the arduino. Perhaps it may be better to use the...

    Start parts OK To make a start I'll load the parts collected. If this has loaded correctly we should see a control board, display and a clock. Also have bread board, connectors, 1k resistors, NPN 2N2222, in channel Mosfet driver and output module. Will load pics of the rest on next posts.

    Hi from Mandurah Western Australia.

    Thanks Jozee Just added a Golden heat gobby and a Bicolour cleaner (?) wrasse yesterday. Looking at the tank on the laptop I start to see thing out of place. Like the power head cable and wave makers. Really need to remove & replace them. If MP 40's were'nt so expensive I'd go that route...

    Hi from Mandurah Western Australia.

    Hi estanoche, IPisces, mercenary-grunt, Krish and NC2WA, Thanks for the friendly welcome. Our Time zone is known as WST – Australian Western Standard Time offset by UTC + 8 hours. We think we are + 9 hours to Los Angeles and + 12 hours for New York. You can check the tank out at...

    Thanks Katchupoy, I've no excuse now not to get started! Out with the bag of tricks. Still have to get the NPN 2N2222 and 1k resistor, also solid wire. Jaycars electronics shop around the corner. Should have every-thing this weekend.

    Checked your page out Katchupoy , great lay-out and info. Going to give a go. If all else fails your servo method would be a winner. Will not change the led ratio for now. The tank is still acclimatizing after having no proper lights for a week. A day after returning back from a month’s trip...

    Got the MeanWell LPF-90D-48 drivers if I remember correctly. Yes they are dimmable. Came with a pot each. They are bright, 36 blue, 18 -10,000K and 18 -6500K whites. Should have got more blue and less 6500K as when the whites are cranked up full it drowns the blues out completely. Hoping to to...

    Hi Katchupoy, Thanks for the welcome and info. Going to have a look-see at your site now. I think it's a matter of getting ones head around the basics, then it all falls into place. Just completed a 72 LED diy build, biggest project to date, but really satisfying. Cheers, Rol
