  1. Good news, I am finished with the USB Par meter and can deliver it to CNC or other convenient place.  Yes, I am happy to cough up the $50 I owe. Still need guidance with the Club paypal account.

    Let me share my experience for new users.  I tried to get a definitive reading for various spot throughout my tank.  This proved impossible since I discovered that the slightest change in angle, shadow of your arm, 1/2" movement, gives a wide range of results.  So I now am just looking for an approximate range of reading for the general spots I am interested in.  Guess this is why the experts say to be ready to move the frag until it is happy.

  2. The current APEX program was set up six years ago and then the aquarium was taken down. Now I have a completely new set up, with much different equipment except for the Apex Gold. I also have a somewhat better understanding of programming.

    Since I also need to update my firmware, what is the easiest way to erase and start over again?  Or is there a better way to approach this?

    An extra headache popped up when I tried to update my very old firmware.  After following their instructions, I got blocked because the EXE file will not run.  I get a message "the host name or IP address is invalid"

    I posted this up on R2R but got no replies.

  3. Wow, this is too easy!  Thanks for the clarification.  The six footer I have in my hands with USB style male ends probably came from Apex, but now I see that it doesn't make any difference.  Thanks, guys.
