Dewey's BC14 LED DIY retro

[SaltyDog]

looks really nice! cant wait to get moe bulbs for my led light to get it working, from what i saw my running with 2 warm whites 4 cool whites and 6 blues, it was amazing color and it would probably really show off the reds alot more. so try maybe adding a warm white the the center and see. Im curious about this "arduino" what is that? and what does it do? iv never heard of that.

The arduino is a micro-controller that uses C++ as it's programming language which once understood is fairly simple.It provides a 0-5v PWM output for being able to dim a buckpuck or CAT4101 LED driver.For Meanwells you would have to add a spare 10v 500mA wallwart and 2n222 transistor to the 0-5vPWM signal off the arduino.The pic I have attached is a controller that uses an I2C lcd/keypad backpack attached to a 20x4 LCD.At current time this setup allows for user input to set time of the RTC as well as selecting a feed mode and water-change mode which suspends the pumps within the tank for a predetermined amount of time...5min for feeding and 20min for water-change.
