Ok so ive decided to document my reef pi build
I am a total amatuer when it comes to a project like this so should be a challenge.
I followed these excellent guides provided by Ranjib Dey as closely as possible.
reef-pi Guide 1: Setup and Demonstration
Initial setup and gathering parts done.
I sourced majority from a local distributor
Mouser Electronics and the rest from Amazon.
Initial setup was a breeze, follow Ranjib guide and this portion should have little to no difficulty.
reef-pi Guide 2: Power Controller
Ok this is where things become challenging for me. I assembled and wasnt working.
Posted on main thread and LionHeart2017 was quick to find my issue.
I made a mistake and put the ULN2803A in the wrong direction.
Starting part three and four today more to follow.
