61 entries, very cool, I wish I had 61 controllers to give away. Thanks to everyone for playing along.

Short Crappy video is fine i think! XD I already use the Robo tank and can confirm it is a very neat board! It can do more than i wil ever use and Rob is first class! When you ask anything he reply's within a day (sorry for the extra pressure i put on your sholders now XD) but mostly it is not even that long!

I definitely could use a second board for some side projects!

Ow yes!
Next to the power supply and the rasberry pi you wil also buy exta temp sensors and more... XD

Thanks Yov, appreciate the kind words. Yeah no high production value but it'll be real. Good luck!

Can you tell me if the ADJ controllable power strips work with Robo-Tank?

Amazon product

I already have a few of those sitting around.

Unfortunately today you would have to build the circuit for it that Ranjib posted on Adafruit.

reef-pi Guide 2: Power Controller

This guide will walk through the build process of controlling AC equipment using an automated power strip (power controller). The power controller allows scheduled and on-demand control. Power controllers are simple and inexpensive to build and it acts as a foundational layer for temperature or...

I'm going to make a small adapter that'll plug into the controller so it's compatible but will be 3-4 weeks till have something. If you want to check with me then I'll know better or should have.

Robs communication and product are AAA. I have been using it now for around almost two months to monitor temp and ph so far and it works flawlessly

Thanks xiholdtruex, glad to hear it's been running good.
