(Another) DIY LED Controller - Simple Arduino Style

TheReefNinja said:
katchupoy, I have 2 48P's here as well as my 48D's which should I use? Currently the 48D's are running and seem fine. And I am starting to want to punch my monitor... my temp is displaying intermittently when it wants to.... I will be soldering up a new temp sensor today.
Click to expand...

Go with 48Ps... we can redo the sketch later so that you dont have to do 10 steps... since you have the "P"s then you can actually do the 255 steps...

since you have the option to choose... go with "P".
 
sorry i have not been on you can convert the 0-5v to 0-10v using this diagram

OR IF YOU REALLY WANT IT SAFE FOR YOUR 48D.... (dont laugh ok)

maybe you can jerryrig something together.... POT + SERVO + Arduino...

Mine has been up and running for a good few weeks just running one 50w led on a frag tank bright as heck

Thats using the atmega328 arduino and the nokia 3310 shield

I am on with building another with a colour 3.2" touch screen and the arduino mega will post up when its complete
 
Hi, I am having a heck of a time following you ! I am all wired up but I cant Load the software I Downloaded the #22 driver but I cant find the Loader?
I know I used it a year ago when I got it but now ? Please Help ! Thanks
 
Jeff I am not understanding what you are having issues with here could you please explain a little more... Do you have the arduino IDE setup?
 
Ok so if I want to make the whites ramp time 120 instead of 180 do I need to add 120 min to the 100% time to compensate for it?
 
I dont know how to load the sketch? I downloaded the driver , but thats it ? I cant find any application to run! what am I missing ?
thanks J

that code i posted before is old. here is the code updated for a 20x4 screen if you want me to add the temp to the current 16x2 sketch and post it I will. This is set to read from 2 temp sensors and I dont have my second one hooked up right now so its reading the same but edit the text up and hook up 2 DS18B20's and you are in business.

EDIT.. Forgot to mention I made the white ramp time 2 hours instead of 3

shikhyung, this may help you out. Let me know if it does not.

Can you point to me where is the line said 720'? If I don't want 12 hours which line should I changed to accomodate with shorter ramp up time for White/
Thanks.
Click to expand...

There is no total minutes per se on the sketch... you just add...

blueramptime + blueramptime + whiteramptime + whiteramptime + photoperiod = what ever minutes you desire.

so if you want 10 hours, then that is equal to 600 minutes. etc.

If you want shorter time for white then just change in minutes...

int whiteramptime = 180 ; // time for white LEDs to dim on and off in minutes
 
Ninja I want to do the 20x4 screen did you buy it with the arduino shield or did you use it on the 16x2 shield?
