compressor5 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 no ETA right now.. originally it seems it was supposed to be done Fall/Winter last year but got delayed. Any updates, looks like a few months have gone by since the last post? This is an exciting project! I hope it makes it out of development! Link to comment
zvargulis Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 happy to help out in anyway, im a electronic technician, living in australia PM if your interested in my help. Link to comment

afgun Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I'm hoping to check one out too... but it doesn't look like hcsceo has been active in awhile. Link to comment
gwenhastings Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 .. This project dead? Hi All, hmm thats a good question , steve has not logged on in almost a year and I just tried steve@reefbuddy.com with email. and I just called up the whois listing which has steves last name and phone... YAY!!! I just left a message asking if the project is abandonware and if what I have from him can be released so that work may continue... gwen ps I am a hydroponics type not a reef type.. the circuit will work equally well for both hobbies..

gwenhastings Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 This project dead? I spoke with Steve a few minutes ago... I will be releasing his package today under creative commons, commercial use allowed freely..., It requires diptrace to view the schematics and board layouts.. the free one seems to suffice for now... gwen ps package attached Yann.zip Link to comment

I will be building up the above circuit as soon as I get these 1284P PDIPS(644P pin compatible upgrade chip) that arrived from digikey today programmed with an arduino bootloader(adaboot) and my jumpers from china come in.. most everything else is in my junkbox... this will be my chance to add probe multiplexing and get the bugs worked out. ie have to locate a 20 mhz xtal if I want to upgrade the speed.. but generally no issue to keep as is. http://aka47.adsl24.co.uk/serendipity/inde...n644pWarez.html is where the data is for this mod. now If I can just talk some nice chinese company into producing a Reefbuddy SMT version or a Hydroduino(take your pick)! so we can buy these low cost and preassembled... :P Link to comment
TwitcH Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Any info on this I really want to get a set up going Link to comment
ThyRaven Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 So all we're getting out of this thread is the schematics and board layout? I was so hoping to spend the $89 for the full kit. The download is great but lacking a parts list and a copy of the programming. Anyone able to get this built and working? If so please upload the components you used to build it and any coding you have created. I'd love to help with the project but I am new to Arduino right now so I am learning the basics as I move forward. If there are people still interested in getting this kit rolled out to the group, I'm on board but will probably need some help catching up. Link to comment
afgun Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Yes, I was hoping to at least have a fab-ready board, parts list and programming too... but I can work around the programming, etc... and looking at the schematic, you can get digikey part numbers for most if not all parts from the annotations. What I'm having difficulty with right now is just figuring out what each of the external connectors is for. From what I see there's an EC, ORP, a couple of PH, one temp/usb (am I wrong?), a button header (U4) and... U3, U8, U12. What are they for ? Do you have any further annotations for the board? What about suggested sources and part numbers for the probes? This is an interesting project, and I'd like to start with it and modify to fit my tank's needs... thanks to all! Link to comment
zemuss Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Is the full kit going to be available in the next 2 to 3 months? Link to comment
nickjqz Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Following just in case anything happens. Link to comment
Rhinoryan Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 There are many places that will fab short run boards. This is onethatbseems to be good, no direct experience http://www.olimex.com/pcb/ Link to comment
cmpenney Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Has anyone made a finished product with this yet? I'm looking into building a controller like this myself and have been researching what others have done already. Link to comment
cmoore73 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I am definitely interested in this!!! Let me know when it is available!!!! Link to comment
MeepNand Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 $89 for a DIY controller? Count me in. Updates? Link to comment
hardelettrosoft Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hello everyone, I have created a similar project here, but based on linux module @ $ 90 ! ! http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/319217-90-diy-linux-aquarium-controller-openhardware-opensource/ If someone would look at . . .

gregm Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Digging up a old one here but did anyone actually build the electrical conductivity circuit from the project. I would love to build this but would just like to know if it works. Link to comment
MeepNand Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Oh actually, you can get a probe and monitor that outputs a 5v signal from here: http://webpages.charter.net/tdsmeter/products.html Cheaper than that doesn't work. DIY probes are no good. Also, my LED controller is going to support some stuff later. So take a peek at that. Link to comment
