Apex Hack: How to show DDR Tile without the DDR

[Reefing102]

So I was researching some Apex things and ran across a thread on R2R that allows you to show the DDR tile without the DDR (Neptunes dosing resovoir).

What this does is, if you run a Dos dosing pump, you can track the liquid level of whatever you’re dosing, using any container you want to use.

Here’s the video on how to do it:

Fusion showed I had new tile available at the lock icon. And then I just added it to my screen. I’ll start using it once I switch dosing containers.

It also allows you to adjust the container volume in the DDR settings

Hope this helps as it allows me to stow my containers away and not have to worry about liquid levels

Here’s the molex connector I used:

I also ordered this wiring (way too much but yea and if you have about 2 inches of spare wire from any other project, it should work just fine)

Amazon.com

Special note: you may want to go with smaller gauge wiring as even 20 gauge was quite thick for the molex connectors.

Welcome! I was ecstatic when I found it. Makes things way more convenient

I used these (6 pin) for my original light build. They’re great

Weatherpack connectors

@Reefing102 Thank you for this tip. I installed the pin, and it worked perfectly. Do you know how to set an alert for when the levels are low since the optical sensor is not installed?

To be honest I haven’t tried and I’m currently at work to see if it can be configured. I wonder if @kharmaguru may know?

Based on what I’ve found researching is this is not possible without some sort of sensor connected.

That's all I could find also. I didn't know if there was another trick to it. Oh well, it's better than nothing.

Brother, that’s the last thing I need. I’d have to fly you and @kharmaguru in to help me set it up
