Aquarium Reef Controller, stage 1, the LCD shield,

looking great Ludnix, Yes i was aware of the duration changes etc and intenisitys, i was planing to do a bit of googling and find some statistics on moon lighting strengths and durations etc and use those as a basis,

also contemplating maybe one of those 8x8 led matrix cubes you can pick up and individually control the leds on.. still not made my mind up yet.

made a basic temp probe today (1 meter length, just soldered together and heatshrinked at the probe, but not encapsualted.

although this works the cables alittle messy, i'll probably go to my local maplins store (electronics specialist/exstortionist) and pick some 3 wired wire use that. get a better finish at the end i reacon.

Things to do :

Work out coding to worked out an LED photoperiod etc

Write soem code that lets the user set up which probe is which, at the minute the probe alocation is on Hex code not user choice etc.
