When I upgraded my tank from my 75 to my 110, I decided to sell of my JBJ Auto Top Off setup for something smaller and more sleek. So with this new goal in mind, i bought a Smart ATO. I hate this thing. I hate it in ways i could not know i could hate a single item. After hours of research, i decided to buy a new ATO setup on BRS. I was talking to a friend about it and was bouncing the idea off of him as he is in the market for one as well.
After a brief 20 minute conversation, we assembled a new Amazon shopping list of Pi supplies. It turns out, i am able to buy enough material for two "complete" Reef Pi systems for a couple dollars more than the single ATO i had in mind...
Today I hit the "buy now" button and thought i would start a thread with its progress. For now, he is drawing the designs in his system (3D printer) and we are waiting on the parts... But here we go:
Ordered:
1) White PLA
2) Photoelectric Water sensors
3) 8 channel board
4) nine to nine connectors
5) Canakit ras pi power supply
6) SD card
7) Temp sensor
8) Male plugs
9) Power socket plug panel screw mount
Building:
1) 16 outlet power module with 8 controlled outlets and 8 always hot (debating wiring in a toggle button on the last 8)
2) Mounts and hanging system for the cables
I will post some pics up whenever items start moving in the process. I hope this thread intrigues and inspires some folks out there.
