anyone tried to using Jebo WP40?

[Robert1969]

Here is another video I made controlled by the reefangel. Im running a simple mode now that allows me to change the PWM %.

Im about the try a new pattern that was created on reefangel forums. It will simulate the tides from my location. Will mimic a low and hgh tide. Pretty neat stuff.

Thanks for posting the video. Was debating ordering the cable for my Reef Angel and this just confirms it for me . Cable is on order :celeb3:

I ordered these connectors for my cables. Have not used them yet, but they look like the ones Jebao uses.

Yes they look like the ones they use for connecting the controller to the pump.
What are going to use them for?

Anything to do with controlling the speed of the pump would need these connectors.
2.1x5.5mm is also called a type M connector

So I can control them without the stock controller. Either with one of the many microcontrollers I have laying around, or the new Reef Angel I ordered earlier this week. I prefer to build my own controllers, but RA impressed me with their product enough I had to get one; if anything to learn more about their platform and modularity. The support they offer is also pretty impressive and made me want to support their movement.

I'm failing to see how this works, does that connector have 3 pins? They use what appears to be a simple XLR, or DMX, connector. I guess I could try to fit them at home, I have a few lying around. They are not IP68 rated though, which is why I opted for the ones I linked above.

Here is a video of movement in the tank with it set to the maximum on W1.

The two I referenced were for adjusting the voltage going into the stock controller,if you want to do away with the stock controller and go with your own of the Reef Angel then you would need the ones you have or as you know Reef Angel has a cable that controls the pump.

So it's just a barrel jack?

At some point I'll probably try the pot on the VA line with the stock controller so people know if/how that works since I don't believe anyone has actually done it or confirmed it works.

Thats pretty neat. Glad to have you on board with the RA.

This should work just fine and Im sure Ive seen where someone has already done that on another forum.

+1. Please do. As this may be the simplest solution but requires cutting into the stock cable to get to the VA line.

Do you guys know if they have plugs like this that will handle 110v?
I'm looking to hook up a quick-disconnect for my avast swabbie.

 

[GroktheCube]

Got mine in the mail today, and just hooked it up. Wow! I'm impressed. I have it about 6" below the surface pointed straight at the opposing wall on one of the short ends of my 120. It took me all of 5 minutes to get a ~1.5" wave at 19.5v, and it's pretty much dead silent. I know people use that term a lot, but I can't hear it at all even at the midpoint of the tank (~2') away from it.

Much quieter than I expected, pretty comparable to my Tunze 6095. I'm already impressed with the amount of stuff it's managed to shake out of the rocks :-D.

 

[raynist]

Just got one today for my 75. Power supply didn't come yet to lower the flow but I put it on my 180 and it is awesome!!! Silent to, we'll at least I could not hear it over my fans on my Sunpower fixture. I may get another one also for the 75 and run them both on else at a lower setting.

I will take some pictures later showing the size against an old koralia and a mp40.

I will probably sell my mp40's as the quietness out weighs the size.

I had a nice 1 plus inch wave in my 180 about 30 seconds after pluggin it in.

Awhile back someone explained how to install a pot on the VA line. It does work, but you lose all top end. The addition of three more parts fixes that. I put this in the controller box after trimming the board way down. Now, I can adjust all modes for intensity from wide open to crawl as well as frequency.
But three wires broke from all the jiggling and it was a pain to fix. At one point, I thought I ruined the controller. All is well, it works like a champ, but there is risk.

Here are the parts I used.

I did not figure this out. A friend whom I rarely see whipped it out in a heartbeat. In the rough schematic, the base of the transistor is connected to the controller (5V line) and the wiper of the trimmer is connected to pump (5V line)

I can't imagine why Jeboa did not do this from the getgo. Lose the low setting and do this.:hmm4:

 

[raynist]

I placed this in my 75 g tank on the left side of the tank in front of the corner overflow. Both are black and you can't even see it. Getting another to run in w1 mode with a lower voltage, and the other will run else mode at a lower voltage. Loving the quietness!!

please stop outside links to RC .. use your PMs we dont want this thread to go away ..

 

[chercm]

i got an email about a sensor kit?
http://www.fish-street.com/jebao_wp-40__wp-25_sensor_kits
what is the difference with the sensor we got with the pump i wonder?

and the voltage supply adapter is now able to be used on the pump???
http://www.fish-street.com/product_details.php?item_id=597

these are now both accessories for the pump on fish street website.

this is a good one

Has a single mod even made a comment about the ebay links in this thread? I understand it's a rule, but it's extremely limiting the ability to exchange valuable information here. I think it's pretty easy to differentiate a plug from a simple informative link.

 

[bluewater921]

i know mods are reading along in here and have removed a few things so far in here for plugging i would just hate to see this thread come to a close .. there is so much good info in here we dont want it to stop ..

There would be a lot more useful info in this thread if people could share what parts they were using.
