Hey all,
I've had my ApexEl for a while now and it's worked well on my nano. However, I am building a 93 cube and need some help with a DIY ATO.

I have an IceCap ATO that has two optical sensors. I plan to cut the ends off the optical sensors and wire them to the Break Out Box but I don't know where they would go. I have an Avast Marine peristaltic pump that I want to use to move water from my storage reservoir to my sump.

I'm also not sure what coding I would need to initiate and stop the ATO process. I have read the manual, perused the Neptune threads and am stumped.

Can someone who has done something similar help me with this project?
