I’m trying to connect my reef octopus varios pump to my apex a3 pro through the 10v connector. I hooked from the 10v on the pump controller to the apex a3 head unit 10v connector. I can’t find a task or find a way to actually control the pump. The only task I see in fusion for variable output is for a scheme. I just want to be able to turn the pump up or down to what I need. How is this supposed to be done? Any video I find shows using the 10v pump controller into an adapter to a phone jack looking connector on apex. But I was just trying to use 10v jack to 10v jack with a normal looking stereo cable.

I think the connectors are Apex propriety though, that may be your issue.
