DIY Reef Controller

I had looked in to the practical maker control unit seems to be every thing you could want plus remote control over the web I believe or at least complete graphing on the web
 
marspeed got all the parts you sent soldered up now my ldd have a home thanks going to start looking for a box or some thing to put all my boards in. trying to decided if i should put every thing in one box like a central control unit and mount ldds in the hood with lights. or should every thing be modular so i can swap out parts as needed with out taking the whole thing off line also got my auto fish feeder wired up got the original plans from jarduino but figure they can be used on any thing
 
that controller is amazing

that controller is amazing

Now I want one of your controllers, I don't have a reef tank controller...yet.

I pre-loaded the atmega328 with a sketch that blinks all the pins on and off to test them all with a simple led. Nick D.

Nick,
I missed that post andd overwrote the sketch :( Is it possible to post it? Did you mean it will blink all the led out pins?

Its not a problem, just upload this.
Code: 
void setup(){
pinMode(0,OUTPUT);
pinMode(1,OUTPUT);
//Do this for pin 0-13 and A0-A5
}

void loop(){
digitalWrite(0,HIGH);  //Do this for each of the pins.
delay(500);
digitalWrite(0, LOW);  //Do this for each pin.
delay(500);
}

I just used this to test that all the pins were soldered correctly. btw, pins A6 and A7 can only be used as inputs.

I'll be spending the rest of the day working out a couple bugs I found in the program and should be able to post something afterwords.
 
Hi Nick,

Congratulations for your OKEANOS

I need an information about your ATO, i bought the materiel written on the BOM but i don't understand the 220 Ohm Resistor x 2, i don't see these resistors on the datasheet
Can you send me by MP a draw pls, eagle you can

Thanks

Luc
 
The 2x 220Ohm resistors are for options leds. One for power to the sensor and one can be turned on to show when the ato pump is running. Other than the two resistors the schematic is identical to the on recommended in the datasheet.
 
Nick,
I was wonering if you might consider writing some code to control pwm powerheads. I have a couple WP40s. A buddy has the Reef Angel and it can run his.

I'm going to look into the code...... Yeah, that didn't help me, maybe it would help you.

just wondering. I need 6 led channels at least 2 pwm fans and I would love a couple pwm outputs for the WP40s.

Am I asking too much? I was always told if you don't know ask!
 
This program is not hard to learn. Just start from the basic blinking led and work your way up. I'm not an electronics genius by any sense of the word, but by following basic directions it has taught me so many different things
 
Hello to all,
I'm new to the forum.
I wanted to ask if there is a connection diagram of the controller.
how are you connected to the arduino lcd, led driver etc etc?
thanks
 
Rott jusT seen your post I an away from home been living in a motel on the beach working on a project. I would go with the modular approach that's what I am doing
