anyone tried to using Jebo WP40?

I don't know the details of the Jarduino, but that sounds like it's just an on/off setup, which is why you can't set speed. I'd figure out a way to utilize an extra 2 pins and send a PWM signal through a LPF to control them.[/QUOTE]

rrasco, your right, its simple on/off. I'm not concerned with speed control (at least at the moment) . If I want to just cycle on/off through the controller, with a 24v feed, where would I tie into on the WP40's controller?---Rick

Depends. I'm assuming you are going to ditch the stock power supply and send it your own power through the relay? Ensure it can handle the current first, then, if it were me, I'd get a DC barrel jack and terminate it so you can plug directly into the controller. Or, you could send power directly to the pump, but you'd also need to send a 5v analog signal to make sure the pumps knows to run. Which at that point, you might as well just control the pump speed that way.

Ya, My thought would be to supply the pump with my 24v through the relay, and I would use a barrel jack so I could unplug it, but I wanted to maintain the WP40's different modes through its own controller. Could I leave the controller plugged into 110v for the modes and just hack the 24v's to turn the pump on/off through the Arduino??

I Cant Wait to get one now
I wish i would have known about them before i got a MP40
Buty its ok tho might end up getting a few WP40s and selling my MP and then havge a few backups lol

IF I was going to use something like that, I would put it between the controller and the pump. I just don't know what effects a PWM signal going into an IC and the other circuitry could do.

I would be willing to try this however, from what I can see of the controller in the pictures on page 109, there are three wires running to the pump from the controller. The PWM box I have just has a positive and negative.

If you are going to use an Arduino, might as well just use it to control them and skip the relays. There really is no point in adding them to it IMO. Either that or use the relay to turn the controller on/off, but I don't know if the stock controller will retain the modes it is in on power off.

24v+, ground, and 5v analog signal. I'm not sure how you would accommodate the 5v signal. It would help if we knew what was inside the pump. Without knowing, I don't really have a suggestion for you because I don't know what will happen if you give it the native signal it is expecting and adjust the 24v line through PWM.

I would like to turn the controller on/off with the Arduino via the 24v of the relay. I'd like to not even plug the 110v side of the WP40 controller in. I just need the controller for its modes, but like you said, it would depend on if it would stay in the preset mode,and come back to it with on/off? In fact once I get something how I want it, I'm not one to change much. If I can lock in the desired mode and switchit on/off with 24v at set intervals, that would work for me. That's how my Tunze's run now.

 

[rrasco]

If you have the Arduino though, why not just drop some custom wave mode code in there and have it control them in whatever mode you want? You can turn it on/off from there too.

This is just pure speculation on my part. The PWM motor speed controller that you have is designed to handle pretty high current and voltage compared to the 0-5v the VA line is sending to the pump. I would imagine the current flowing thru the VA line is just a few milliamp from the stock controller. So I don't know if it will work if you put in between the stock controller and pump. JMO.

I guess mainly because I'm not very proficient in Arduino, at least as of right now. I gathered the parts for the Jarduino, and uploaded the sketch to my board which is controlled by a touch screen (I like this), and so far I have been able to make every thing work per the Jarduino program. So dropping in some custom wave mode codes, sounds like a bit of a reach for me. Right now I can navigate the tough screen. I don't think I could add more info to the different screens the way they are currently set up. Anyhow, a lot of the thread talks about running the pumps at 24v's so as not to damage the motor. That is why I would feed the 24v. My question is where would I need to tie into? Like I said, it would be nice to have the different modes, but if I could only have one that I liked work, that would be ok(maybe the ELSE mode seems to be popular) . My tank is 8' long, I have my Tunze one at each end. They have been running full bore since I got them(no Tunze controller)
Now with the Arduino I have them alternating one at a time. So if I can get the WP40's doing the same, TOUCH DOWN end of game!:dance:

Is this too much on a 40g tank? Or wp25 is more suitable?

For what it's worth, those connectors I ordered didn't fit. :headwally:

I don't know how to tell you how to hook it up for the reasons I stated above. I've presented my thoughts on the matter so it's really up to you to decide what you want to try.

Thanks, no problem I'll make it work. I still need to get one first of all

If you don't mind it looking like a hurricane, the WP40 would be great! In a 40g tank a 3200gph pump is only 80 turns an hour all by itself. If I was you, I'd wait and see what the WP25 looks like. That's what I plan to put in my 55g and 70g tanks.

Here is a video of the wp-25; still crazy powerful for such a small pump..very impressive

I love how Paypal asks for personal information as if they are doing me a favor..They even asked for my damn online user name and PW for faster verification??? I've been robbed by paypal last year -literally money taken out of my account.

Why can't some american companies buy 1000's of these and just sell me one for $150..Anything's better then dealing with paypal and fishstreet...

Anyone tried these wp40 on a 6' peninsula tank? My 2 Mp40 won't reach the other end, I'm thinking on put in 2 Tunze 6105 with narrow housing.

Did anyone notice this on the WP40 page for FS?

Why not buy on ebay, I got a wp40 for 108.00 with free shipping.

While I dont have a peninsula tank, I do have a pair of these on my 180.the current from one definately reaches the other end so you should be good.
