Journal High-Tech 90P Build

[Aquajack]

Nice work. It would be good if when you get to it, if there is anything to show the progress of you setting up the aquarium automation stuff with the esp32 boards and the software stack. I'm about to pull the trigger on an esp32 board and Atlas PH board and sensor. That seems as good a solution as any.

For sure! I still haven't started laying any traces, in my head its still evolving what the main controller and sub-controller will be. The Atlas boards definitely seems like the best option for a lab-grade probe less prone to drift. Still trying to figure out if I want continuous EC/TDS monitoring - the atlas boards/sensors are good for that, but the parts add up fast.

I've drawn up the stand plan, its to go in a corner of our house and for WAF, part of a built in desk/drawer. Final colour will be a gametime decision by the wife. Sump will of course go under the main tank, and I'll cut some exploratory holes in that short left wall soon to run the lines required to the basement for AWC/ATO/CO2.

Hey, it's fusion 360.

Some LED updates. I think I'm a little blind now.

Wired the fixture to the drivers for a test run, only had one short to fix, patched that up and had all 11 channels running.




Got the esp32 connected to home assistant as well and it's super responsive so far.

Happy to almost be done with the fixture and start working on the stand.
