The Dewd Robo-Tank build thread

[Dewd]

Update time.

I have my Robo-Tank installed. Only real problem I encountered was I bought the wrong RS232 DB9 cable. I bought a "Null Modem" version which the troll in the shop said was straight through, but turned out not to be. I could only get 2 x outlets on each Power Bar to work. So I've now ordered new cables from a reputable online source, but they have to come from Europe. Expecting them to arrive any day now. In the meantime, I decided to chop the cables I have in half and get the correct pin-out. Should be easy right? Wrong. 2 of the pins aren't even connected to wires - and Robo-Tank needs those 2 x pins. So now I have 4 out of 6 outlets working on each Universal Power Bar. Baby steps right?

So as it stands currently, I have the following connected and working :
- 8 x 220V outlets
- DC Ports (4 x items connected)
- 1 x ATO
- pH
- 3 x Temp probes
- 3 x Doser (On pwm light ports)
- 1 x Auto Pellet feeder
