Profilux II plus aquarium controller

[jdjeff58]

It's best to have the probe downstream from the heater in the sump. Putting the probe upstream will cause the temp control loop to play constant catch up with itself. I try to place my probes where I can have the most exact temp that I can get. That's the whole point of a temp control loop....to MAINTAIN temp. at the setpoint.

Well, you lost me. Your saying you put your temperature probe in the warm water that flows off your heaters? This keeps your tank temperature more constant? Remember you are controlling cooling as well as heating. The best place for the probe should be in the tank IMO. I have mine inside one overflow measuring the temperature of the water coming out of the tank.

Hi All!

Firmware 3.03 & ProfiLuxControl II V.3.03 is completed!

I could not implement all wished functions, but i think i could add a lot of new features. The next upgrade is in work...
These are the news:
- dosing pump functions
- LAN/WLAN-settings adjustable with ProfiLuxControl or over ProfiLux directly
- manual override for sockets
- measurement memory extended, new export/import for measurement data (so i hope it will work now with your date and time format - waiting for feedback)
- temperature dependend shut-off for MH
- and some things i forgot now

Here are the new files for download:

http://www.ghl-kl.de/Produkte/Aquari...LuxII_V303.zip

In the next days i will write a new step-by-step tutorial for the LAN/WLAN-setup with firmware 3.03. Maybe you'll work it out before that.

See page 1 and 2.

In conclusion, it is important that the heater, sensor and load be as
close as possible. The sensor should always be between the heater
and the load.

Regarding ProfiLuxControl II 3.03:
Some clients reported probs with the function "manual override" under "socket outlet function".
We revised the source code - result is a new version 3.0.3.1, ready for download now. If someone has problems with socket outlet functions i recommend to update the program.

Normally you find the download here http://www.ghl-kl.de/Produkte/Aquari.../download.html , but you may have to look again tomorrow as Matthias needs some sleep from time to time.
