Chris I know/knew you can hook up the lights+light controller+robo-tank. The main reason I was stoked to find the robo-tank is because I could spend a little more and have an aquarium controller that would also control my lights...gets way too pricey if I also have to buy the TMC controller.
"However the controller is expensive. This makes me think we could hack it somehow and control the lights directly. I'm just not sure how to start." 100% agreed!
I think niksunen is on the right track with the LDD-1500, the only number that doesn't seem to line up to me is the input voltage of the LDD at 6-30V (robo-tank outputs 5V) but I suppose Rob has mentioned he's able to up the V to 10 so that shouldn't be a problem.
Chris could you check the output voltage of your TMC controller at 100% lighting setting?
