LED Full Spectrum Controller based on Mega2560 board
- Thread starter kapelan
- Start date
Thank you,
that already exists:
when click on power line it goes to the screen where any line can be enforced to: OFF or ON. If this state is not saved in 2 minutes it will return to initial state.
That's useful to temporary turn OFF pump and even if forget - it returns back to previous state automatically. Or shooting a picture: turn it on and forget - the light will be back to normal after 2 minutes.
Autofeed - timer or dosser is doing it. Up to 100 times per day.

How would I change the hex file back so I could change pin outs ?

That's almost impossible to do.

Where is the clowd and all them setings on this controller ?
All objects from the screen are touchable.
Touching the LED aria will open detail screen for LED.
Then go to timer list -> timer detail.
Each timer has it's own mode and it's own managed channels
For example I like this mode:
from 7 to 8pm:
Blue on 100%
Red+Green on Cloud Fast
So corals looks nice.
At other time - different timers for different colors with individual percentage during the day.
do not want to keep white all the time - changing the level helps fight with algae.

Changing Spectrum During the day
Changing Spectrum During the day
1. Royal Blue and Ultra Violet on the first picture.
Day starts at 3pm in 15 minutes brightness up to 75% then slowly to 100% and then slowly down to the end of the day.
2. White, Green and Red from the picture 2.
I've found these colors can promote algae grow. But it makes corals looks good for human. So we need to find something that is good for us and not good for algae: these colors floating from 20% to 80% of brightness.
It looks pretty cool when watching, I mean corals always different when watching them.
From corals reaction did not noticed any positive or negative reaction of this floating light.
Algae: it grows less with floating white/green/red.
3. Moonlight from picture 3.
Slowly UP and DOWN - that's the time to go to bed. Some corals already closed some of them is closing at this time.

This controller working right away after loading. Probably you have problem with driver.
Which driver are you using?

That's my diy driver and I think it's the npn needs to be changed to one that opens with 0.1v
It supports 4 temperature sensors.
Connect first of them to pin A3 and find it from controller (button "Find" on Sensors screen)
Then you can connect 3 more in parallel to the same pin.
That's not a driver, you need a driver that support PWM signal.
