Jebao WP25 Information

[Dun Properly]

It's supper annoying in this hobby (and I guess many others) when people get so emotionally invested with their purchase that they can't rationally discuss the pros/cons. Figure out ways to reduce the shortcomings and make it better. I don't know why you're flaming for trying to figure out a way to improve it.

I'm not emotional about a $65 pump. I might get emotional if my $65 flame angel bites the big one, but not this pump.

The WP25 has plenty of cons that should be mentioned, but nitpicking a budget pump with comparisons to the hobbies premium products is silly, in my opinion.

Like I said, please continue. I will excuse myself from this conversation.

It looks pretty sweet if it works.
Would be nicer if he created some kind of case for it.

We just need to get jebao to start producing the Mark2 multi-controller for distribution anywhere other than Thiland. If you already forgot here is the video lol...

that ebay controller uses two power supplies one for each pump, they are isolated and one of them powers the controller via a voltage regulator i would guess.

thanks for the clarification zachts

To me it actually looks like 3 DC power supplies.

Hey guys, I'm the designer/producer of the JBWave dual controller. Let me clarify the power requirements. The two rear power jacks connect to your existing Jebao AC Adapters. Each jack is routed to the power pin on the pump connector through the circuit board. A small amount of power is tapped off one of the jacks to power the controller (just like the stock Jebao controller) so you don't need a third power adapter.

The jack on the front is never used. It is there to supply extra current on power hungry Arduino Shields, which this one is not. When configuring the board (with Jebao AC adapters removed), power for the controller comes from your PC via the USB jack.

Thanks for clearing that up joejvj.
Great little device you have there.

Do you have any videos of the JBWave working? I would definitely be interested in seeing a demo. Thanks.

+1 to that.

It would be great to get a neat little acrylic box for this guy.

Or some kind of cover for the electronics......that has stopped me from ordering one from his sale......

The unit itself is pretty small, 2.1" L x 2.7" H x 1.5" H. Any little plastic box will do. I don't have an enclosure because I can't afford injection molding tooling costs. I'm just a hobbyist in my garage building these things. I started by building one for my self because I hated the way 2 Jebao pumps just randomly put out currents. I wanted a synchronous back-and-forth motion. It worked well, and figured other people would want one. But keep in mind this is a semi-DIY project.

Thank you for the quick reply. And thank you for the DIY build. Def putting this on my "gotta have" list.....

Here's a video of the JBWave running on a 34 gal Nano tank. This has 2 WP-25's running at 52% speed using the Alternating pattern. It may be hard to see, but the pumps are switch flow every 15 seconds:

Kudos for a cool idea and build!

Very nice, Have you played with the program? it wouldn't be too hard to have a random function, set them in sync and anti sync. I mean the sky is the limit really...

what type of controller are you running them on?

I would definitely pick one of these up but as mentioned above the lack of a case is a real deal breaker for me. If this thing is anywhere near the tank I can't imagine it not getting water damage. I also don't see the ability to put the pumps very far apart as the cords on these things and the pumps aren't very long.

That being said, it's a pretty awesome build. If there is ever a version two of this thing I'm all over it. Very we'll done.
