I just saw an article where someone made one using it, also had it for temp control and other controls. Sent from my SM-N915V using Tapatalk You could do it, but Reef Angel already exists and it is a Arduino-based controller. It is pretty cheap and easier than building one yourself. http://www.reefangel.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will keep you in mind But if I decide to go Smart ATO, or Tunze, then I think I won't need one.

But pretty expensive [emoji17] well cheaper than a lot of other controllers out there for sure haha It's very tempting. Lol But a DIY would be fun and a learning experience, and a lot cheaper (I think). I will have to see how much it really costs to build one, or asking people who have already worked on one before Sent from my SM-N915V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev311 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Here’s an arduino based controller that I thought was coolhttps://www.robo-tank.ca/Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
