RE: Wiring Eheim Feeder for Robo-Tank Gen3 Controller - Rob F - 07-07-2019 Hi Fred, do you have the feeder enabled on the feed settings page? Off is default.

Hi Rob yes port 14 is enabled and the feeder is powered on also RE: Wiring Eheim Feeder for Robo-Tank Gen3 Controller - Rob F - 07-07-2019 Are both settings enabled? Check you check the voltage on controller using +3.3v pin and the feeder pin? There will only be voltage when you press the auto feed button and it'll will only show for 2 seconds.

Off is default. Which controller board are you using? Can you see a Rev version under the logo on PCB? RE: Wiring Eheim Feeder for Robo-Tank Gen3 Controller - fred73 - 07-08-2019 Hi Rob It was the green connector that was the issue. replaced it and it now works Thanks RE: Wiring Eheim Feeder for Robo-Tank Gen3 Controller - Rob F - 07-08-2019 Ah nice glad you figured it out, a little surprised it was a connector as they seem pretty good. |
