+Capt. Obvious Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Just trying to gauge interest to see if it would be something people were interested in. I am thinking of making a weekly series on how to make a reef controller with an arduino, from scratch (using no pre existing sketches). I would start with some basics and make it fairly clear, concise and easy to follow as well as showing multiple options (display temperature on 7 segment LEDs? OK, how about on an LCD? OK! Nixie tubes? why not!...etc) and have the series last a month or 6 until a fairly awesome controller has been made. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zilkerfish Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 yes, and willing to help! However, my help may be the equivalent to holding the flashlight while someone else works under the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I think this is a great idea! I've been looking to build my own controller for a while now. This would be a great place to start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theresa Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 YES, but you would have to start with what it is and what it does and why....etc... Thanks, you are apprecited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+olaggie01 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I'd definitely like to know a little more about Arduino, maybe not reef related, but it would be neat for house related controls as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Capt. Obvious Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 ...we can do that as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifuentes31 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Sounds great!! I've been doing DIY since the beginning and no need to break tradition! I can help with any sheetmetal such as brackets and housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I've never done anything with an Arduino, but if I ever get a chance to it'll definitely be for a reef tank. This could be a start of something great for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
