SpencerShepard Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 What could it be?? Built-in Wi-Fi connection means you are up and running in a snap. No messing with long runs of ethernet cable or finicky Wi-Fi gateways. The cloud connection means your device is instantly accessible from anywhere, with no router configuration necessary.Bluefish makes it easy to replicate the lighting conditions of any location, using actual weather data in real time! Just choose a city, and optionally use the current weather conditions (clouds, storms, etc), sunrise/sunset times (dynamic photo-period), and moon phase! Powered by Wunderground.comBluefish simulates unique cloud cover patterns using the current weather conditions from your simulated location. Unique weather conditions include clear, partly cloudy, mostly cloudy, scattered clouds, rain, haze, overcast, and thunderstorm.Integrate the video feed from webcams directly into the app! Check up on your tank, make changes remotely, or just have fun showing off.start a thunderstorm and watch the action from anywhere!Start a thunderstorm from the app and lighting strikes are synchronized with audio from a real thunderstorm. Connect your phone or tablet wireless to a Bluetooth speaker for maximum effect!Wi-Fi configuration is extremely quick and easy. Select your network, enter the password, then hold the screen of your mobile device to the sensor on top of the Bluefish device. Your mobile device sends the configuration by flashing the screen (think Morse code). In about 10 seconds, your Bluefish controller is online and accessible from anywhere. Absolutely no router configuration necessary! Programming your light schedule and customizing your channels is a snap.Bluefish was created with your security in mind. End-to-end SSL encryption protects your data from prying eyes, and your settings are stored securely in the cloud. Website: https://aquarium-led-controller.com/ Link to comment

SpencerShepard Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 That's great to hear, Jay. This is Bluefish Mini. It is designed specifically for budget conscious DIYers and manufacturers wanting to integrate Bluefish lighting control into their products. While the standard Bluefish controller can put out different types of control signals (0-10V, PWM), the Mini is limited to 3.3V PWM. This makes it perfect for the immensely popular Mean Well LDD drivers. It has all of the lighting control features of its big brother, same app, no expansion port. Retail price of ~$100.

SpencerShepard Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 NOOOOOO!!! Why can't it be 5v?? Cost, and demand. This was designed just for LDDs. If you need to get 5V out of this for some crazy Jedi project, send me an email and we can bounce some ideas around. Link to comment

If you need to get 5V out of this for some crazy Jedi project, send me an email and we can bounce some ideas around. I wanted it (and digital output) for fan power activation. I don't know the minimum activation voltage, but I know that it's a pretty wide range. Otherwise this would be epic for my new Nanobox retro. Link to comment

Show me what you're using to control your fans. You should be able to directly control PWM fans with this as well. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Should be no sweat to get that going. Show me what you're using to control your fans. You should be able to directly control PWM fans with this as well. I'm using a Meanwell SCW08C-12 with a PWM-activated and modulated circuit, find that below. What it does is leave the SCW output positive always hot and disables the ground unless a signal is given to the 'enable' pin, in which it re-enables the ground pin and turns the circuit on. Then, you can use the PWM in pin to send a PWM signal that modulates the ground pin on and off to 'adjust' the output of the SCW. I don't care about the control of the fans, I just want them on/off. Ok, here is a pic of one of the boards (well, an example) and the circuit: Link to comment
SpencerShepard Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Right, I remember you showing that board before. Can you get the datasheet for that first transistor? Worst case scenario you can just replace that transistor with one suitable for 3.3V logic gate. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Ok, I just got an email back from O2surplus, he designed the circuit, he says that 3.3v is no problem and it will work. Now to just get some digital output going Link to comment
ReviloM Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I thought it was a device used to steal credit card information. Link to comment

jamescstein Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Any word when the power bar will be available? Link to comment

SpencerShepard Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Early March. Link to comment
bdevillier19 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Early march? Bummer . Link to comment
Jackstone Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 So can this plug right into a Nanobox light or do we need to do some hacking? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 So can this plug right into a Nanobox light or do we need to do some hacking? NBR uses all LDD drivers, so this is compatible. Link to comment
SpencerShepard Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 So can this plug right into a Nanobox light or do we need to do some hacking? It's absolutely compatible, and if you have been using the Storm controller it is plug-and-play with Dave's connections. Link to comment
