Hello,
I've built myself a custom LED Lighting system with CREE LEDs and a MakersLED fixture. I'm dimming to LEDs with Meanwell LDDs and talking to the Apex through a voltage to PWM converter through this: http://www.stevesleds.com/Aquarium-C...ess_p_183.html
I started playing around programming it and so far, it seems to be working well as in rising and lowering with sunrise and sunset and being able to perform weather such as cloudy and stormy.
I'm using all four VDM outlets for my LED colors: Ultraviolet, Royal Blue, Cool White, Deep Red.
I followed the How-To here: https://forum.neptunesystems.com/sho...eather-events& and modified slightly so all four channels rise and set instead of just two. The Cloudy and Stormy features are still the same though.
The problem I'm finding now is I don't ever actually see lightning. I'm not quite sure if it's working and it's just not what I expected, or if I did something wrong. I'm also curious if anyone else has a similar set up. I'm looking for a quick flash, especially from the CW LEDs like lightning, but my concern is possibly, the flash is too quick that the voltage to PWM converter is just skipping. The code was also written in 2013, so curious if there are any code updates that need to be done?
If anyone can shed some light on how exactly to handle the lightning setting, that would be great Thanks!
