Just wondering if this is possible with the Ice Cap control module? I'd really like to program my own profile using my Arduino controller. Just hoping for some insight on what it would take to get this working and if the Ice Cap Module would be better than developing my own circuit. If I will have to create my own circuitry, can you provide some insight on the proper wiring to interface the Arduino with the Gyre. Should I use PWM or vary the voltage between set voltage values? What are the risks to the pump motor and circuitry?
