Questions about purchasing a Robo-Tank DIY Aquarium Controller Kit
#26
Now i am confused :D

"Anyone trying to dim these LDD's using a SmartController would have to drop that 10v PWM to 5v PWM max."

I think all the time, that there are meaning to control those lights without that SmartController (because it is too expensive) :D 

If SmartController is "in the picture" things are diffrent right away :D Then you can control that SmartController directly to 0-10v pwm signal :) 

"The SmartControl 8 can be connected to any external lighting controller or aquarium computer with a 1-10V output and it will slave from that signal."

I thought SmartController is not used in this connections, so then you need something like ldd-1500 in between lights and power source or they are just to 100% brightness all the time :)  (and that something has to be capable of dimming lights by pwm controlled, just like ldd-1500 example). 

But clearly i misunderstand whole situation :) So forgot anything i say and continue :)
