    ACjr programming

    I bought an ACjr w/serial port a few months ago and then bought an Apex set up for my main tank less then a week later befor setting up the ACjr, LOL!

    I am currently in the process of making a 3D printed pico tank, and would like to use this ACjr to run the lights (basic on/off), temp/heater control,... and maybe use the PH probe if the one I have isn't bad.

    I'm legally blind... so my vision isn't all that good (can't drive and small text is hard or impossible for me to read), and so the display on the ACjr is not very fun to read for me, lol.

    Is there a way to program it on my computer? I keep seeing stuff about Aquanotes but I do not have it, nor can I find it anywhere.

    I have the serial cable and serial to USB adapter.

    After looking around a bit, here is basically the programming... I think.

    Using examples from here and the AC3 sim (I don't see a way to upload to the ACjr through the serial cable in this program.)

    TIMERS

    RTN#-A02 <-- Return pump/flow
    REF$-A04 <-- Refugium light
    LED$-A01 <-- main lights
    HET%-A03 <-- heater
    FED&-N02 <-- not sure if that one is needed (that site I linked to notes it as "Feed Cycle Active")

    PROGRAM

    If Time > 00:00 Then RTN ON
    If FeedA 000 Then RTN OFF

    If Timer LED = ON Then REF OFF
    If Timer LED = OFF Then REF ON


    If Temp < 78 Then HET ON
    If Temp > 79 Then HET OFF


    If Time > 14:00 Then LED ON
    If Time > 23:00 Then LED OFF

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Aquanotes was discontinued long ago, and doesn't run on newer Windows. You might try a software package called ACSerial2Web which was written by a former ACjr user. I have no idea if it's still supported though. https://sites.google.com/site/acserial2web
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.
