i am in the process of building my first LED light for my 20g. trying to keep things cheap and simple. I already have my leds, drivers.
trying to figure out a diy method to making my own on/off controller for my lights, nothing fancy just day/night mode. I work a rotating shift so sometimes i get home very late to change the light mode on a decent schedule. The light i am using is a cheap light meant for freshwater and is not bright enough, and has no timer.
I do have an arduino duemelove, just not familiar with using RTC for this type of purpose. would like to have ability to change the on/off times if necessary. I am capable of soldering circuits together just not knowledgeable enough to create them.
google search didn't provide any results that i saw suitable for this project, or had too much going on to simplify what i needed. So if anybody can point me in the right direction that would help a lot.
