Not yet but in future... but probably after 3.0. We have a feature slated for 3.0 called as custom pwm profile.. that should be able to do storm, lunar etc simulation. Good thing is you have the circuit ready :-) , all you have to do is update the software in future
Im glad this worked out ..:-)

I'm sorry to revive an old thread but I'm having the an I2C issue also.

Reef-Pi throws an error when trying to add my light and In the command prompt I get blanks for everything for 00->70 when I run i2c detect.

I saw the downgrade suggestion from a while back but was hoping with 3.4 to not have to.

Setup:. Zero-W/Leviathan Hat/Mars Aqua light with PVM Board

This doesn't sound like an issue with reef-pi version, so I don't think you'll need to downgrade. I recommend starting a new thread specific to your issue. It sounds like you'll need to troubleshoot the rpi set up, then the Leviathan board, and finally the Mars Aqua. I can't find any schematics, but it looks like the PCA9685 should be using the default address, which means you should see 0x40 and 0x70 when you run i2cdetect.
 

DO YOU THINK TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS ARE MORE HELPFUL OR HURTFUL TO REEFING?
