re: Matts 500 gallon funhouse
Ok, Willie, i was trying to make Matt RTFM (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM) and work it all out but you went and spoiled it and just told him the answer.
LOL. Just kidding.
:LOL: I like the RTFM advice Chris
I have really enjoyed adding confusion and chaos to this thread but Matt was at wits end with the whole light to controller issues,normally that is when I do my best to create more confusion but this is a very expensive project he is dealing with and I've kinda figured out that Matt is/was a little technological challenged (no offense Matt
) I'm just trying to offer advice in as simple terms as I possibly can...in all honestly,I'm clueless to these controllers too but what advice I give is just what I would try based on my limited knowledge of electronics
most of what I've learned about electronics is from installing car stereos since I was about 12 years old,back then,you had to figure out what wire did what,maybe this is a long way from what Matt has done but it does give you a basic understanding of wiring stuff up...now days,they make vehicle specific plugs and all the wires are color coded to make it simple enough for anybody to do and after Matt accomplishes this task,I'm sure either GHL or Apollo can create a simplified wiring system to accomplish what Matt is figuring out the hard way
one thing I will say about Matt,he has endured this challenge like a trooper and is about to succeed,just these few little hiccups in the path to overcome...when this is all said and done,Matt will be a leading expert on this portion of the Profilux controller and this will brooding his knowledge of technology and make other electronic projects seem much easier....I give him high marks for tackling this head on
I'm sorry I've missed so much of this thread,I've worked 3 of the last 4 days,off today and pull 3 more,these are all 12 hour shifts with an hour drive each way,I don't have much time to spend on-line on my work days but when I have more time I'll try to get caught back up on things...
Matt your pics all look great with the new lights
