Looking at previous threads what would it take to make 1 dc pump slider controllable and program controlled. for example i want to take a jebo dct 8000 and program modes into it for example where it will shut off for to minutes for feeding, pulsing to create tidal surges etc. At a minimum it would be nice to hit one button to shut pumps down for 10 min then automatically kick it back on for feeding also you mentioned needing to do extra things to hook it to the controller what exactly will this en tale. Im trying to compile directions and guides to form a master how to guide to do this. Jebo makes a apex controler adapter for 19.00 that may be the better way to bridge the two tech.

The Jebo DCT9000 would require additional hardware because they draw about 2.7amps on full, the max the controller board can put out is 3amps and 1-1.5amps is already being used for display etc... I have external boards with mosfets that can handle a bit more power and could be put inline. Currently the code is only setup to turn 4 DC accessories on or off but the ports are capable of adjusting speed I just need to get that feature added.
