Well it’s a bit different from the Eheim.
The JBL doesn’t have a rotating drum, it uses a wormwheel to transport the food out of the container.
Adjusting the amount of food results in a different run time of the motor turning the wormwheel.
With amount 1 being the shortest runtime and 8 the longest.
The “manual” feed button doesn’t do anything, or at least it’s not clearly stated in the manual.
Using the “amount” button to pulse it to the desired amount will always result in a food dosing.
Shorting the buttons to ground works to activate them, so I only need the “amount” button.
I just need something to pulse it to the desired setting.
Preferable without modifying the code.
Using a 555 timer would be best I think, just have to figure out how to get it somewhere around 0.5Hz.
Or atleast a 555 timer is the only thing I know and somewhat understand.
But then it isn’t as plug& play as I would like.
Shorting the button to ground for an extended amount of time doesn’t work, it needs to be pulsed
