ATO w/ V6.5 - Cruz427 - 12-15-2022
Hey Rob,
I am running V6.5 on the Version 1 controller. Is there the ability to do ATO if I purchase 2 Optical, 1 float, and 1 non-contact from you? My assumption is that I just need to make rles similar to ladder logic with them to get them working. Just let me know.
Thanks!

Hey Cruz, nice to hear that. Yeah you can run an ATO using the custom rules, if you add a delay when reading the sensor waves won't cause it to turn on/off quickly. At some point there will be a system just for ATO so it's easier to setup and more related features but this works good too.

If you need any help with any testing let me know! Also, based on my reading of documentation the board should be able to feed the power to a Tunze Osmolator DC pump right?

Yeah slowly getting there and you're testing right now. :) You can connect that DC pump directly to a DC port, down the road you'll be able to adjust the speed of the DC ports which could be useful for that pump as it's 3v-12v, you'll be able to adjust it from 6v - 12v via the software.
