Default EVG card

First step was to wire the EVG card.
With this, the option to wire both AC/DC adapters are there so why not.

Tapped out a 4x4x4 box to keep everything together.

Disassemble jeboa control and steal whats needed inside.
Being careful to label the wires coming off the boards.





Discard of old controller as we will no longer be needing that....

Default Harness.

Wiring schematic to come, i just have to draw it up.
Here is a picture of the completed box, I wired the AC/DC adapter external because of heat given off.



And here it is mounted under the tank.

Very nicely done. I'd have to say I'm not sure I could pull that off. But I might have to give it a try.
Where do you source all your parts?

J,
It's easy, I got everything from Rona except the EVG card.
I'll get that wiring diagram up and a few more pics just so you can see it a bit better.

Just got mine today and 1 of the controllers doesn't work.
Upside is shipping only took 5 business days from HK and he sent me 4 extra light sensors for free.

Eric from fishstreet is sending me a new controller today. Great service

Did a quick test and pump are almost silent. Much much quieter than my mp40s

Default Light sensor problem

I've had my wp40 for a few weeks now & really liked it so far . I'm still trying to dial in the flow I like & corals are at their happiest ! The light sensor worked quite well in the beginning - I taped the controllers on the side of the tank so direct LED wouldn't damage the sensor but still get enough light to activate it . It worked great for a couple weeks then all of a sudden I noticed when going to bed the pumps were running in reg. mode & not night mode . I thought I had damaged the sensor already , thought that was odd considering it wasn't in direct light , and swapped it out with a new one . They were still acting up at strange times - late at night , when going to bed but by morning when the lights were starting to ramp up & turn on , they worked properly . I finally figured it out , my lunar lights turn off for approx. 1 week a month & the sensor needs dim light to go into & stay in night mode . It was the light from the TV that kept it in night mode before I went to bed , but after 15 min of turning it off , it would go back to reg. mode . It won't stay in night mode when completely dark !
So something to keep in mind when placing the controller !!!
