Anyone good at modifying the Jarduino code? I want to add a couple of relays to trigger on and off at certain times to ripen my T5's in conjunction with my LEDs.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

you will run out of milliamps, the board is at max already if you are using as designed.
Did you search RTAW Reefpedia B4 asking your question?

Thanks Chromus,

Just read through your thread! What a bugger! I'm planning on supplementing my ATI 6x54w sunpower with my jarduino build. All I want to do is switch 2 x relays on and off!

Any advice on hooking 2 Megas up as master and slave? I have a spare one here!

Long time since this post was updated.

I have been playing around with a bunch of peoples code on Raspberry Pi.

1st iteration of my changes and rebuild has just gone through my testing.

A lot of the CSS/layou is from another controller, I like it sorta, but need to make it more mine.

This thread seems a little dormant - I've just got a Raspberry Pi and thinking about using it to as a basic monitor for ph, temp, etc. etc. Anyone make any progress on this / got any pointers? Most of the threads seem to die a couple of years ago. Chromus - your site looks great, but needs a login to see what you've done.

@MikeZed
Mine is still going: http://franklin.my.inventmarine.com

I would suggest you open a new thread for these questions, as this one is more of an index.
