Hi All,
I'm new to the robo-tank community and extremely impressed with what Rob has created. I just ordered a kit which I am excited to start playing with. I have a question regarding installing a water flow sensor. Is is possible to connect a flow sensor and generate an alarm/web alert if the sensor indicated either no flow or a drop below a set amount. I have a pump with an automatic shut off on it (Deepwater Aquatics BLDC5 DC Brush-less Water Pump) and I am a little concerned if it shuts off while I'm not around. As a secondary question would it be possible to control the speed of the pump via the controller? The pump is DC and has a controller with it that allows six different speed settings.
Thanks
Chris
