DIY PAR meter

[mcgyvr]

Right now I just wanted a 0-5V output. There is no scaling to an actual PAR reading. I just figured the user could simply read the output on a multimeter and scale that number to a par reading manually. Thats why I need to get my hands on a Apogee par meter to figure out the factor (ie. .1V=40 umol or whatever).

It's still a work in progress.. Need a par meter to really go any further..

Any luck on getting a PAR meter yet?

What has happened with this project. I have access to a par meter if you will send it over... or just include a little more instruction as to how you enclosed this deal and I will build one and begin calibration. I have a DIY arduino reef monitor/controller I have been working on. I have temp, ph, orp, conductivity working with a webserver... I have been looking for a way to add PAR to this. This looks promising. Please update or contact me with a little more description. I would fully put one of these together in the next few weeks test and report back.
