JST connector kit: https://amzn.to/3WyCdcK

I assume the Atlas Scientific probe connects to the piece I have circled. This isnt your typical BNC connector that other proves use like Pinpoint. I have several probes available already (that are new in the box) so the SMA to BNC adapter i shared above is what I going to attempt to use so third party probes can be supported.

Yes, it's an SMA adapter for the Isolation circuit board that the Atlas probes use. You would need an SMA adapter if other probes have a different connector.

If this adapter works, send me the link so I can add it to my 'Build It Yourself' page, thanks!

I got rev2 of the AquaPi boards on order, will take some time, coming from overseas. I'm going to get 5 -10 boards for inventory.

As a thank you to all in this post for you interest, I created a coupon for all of you for 10% anything on my store where I sell my stuff.

REEF2REEF - 10 % off everything from my Store

I make and sell various 3D printed things for the aquarium, the are rather cheap but I can only do flat rate shipping on my store so it's not really worth it to get stuff like that there. But I created an Etsy store for all that, if you all wanted to take a look. I will be adding more stuff, just starting out.

I looked for the EZO items but they are not avaiable in the UK.
see if you can order directly and I sell only in US b/c my website is limited and have to upgrade for international shipping and such:

Working on a alert panel for High/Low Temps and other parameters. The pH isn't that high, I just need to recalibrate my probe and don't have solution right now.

```
graph: line
type: sensor
entity: sensor.aquapi_f2c1e4_temperature
detail: 1
name: Marine Temp.
card_mod:
style: |
ha-card {
background-color:
{% set state =
states('sensor.aquapi_f2c1e4_temperature_range') %}
{% if state == 'Cool' %}
darkblue
{% elif state == 'Warm' %}
maroon
{%- endif %}
}
```

This is looking awesome! The boards from Atlas came into today so Im about ready to start assembling this. Would it be possible to get the STLs uploaded for the boards that connect the probes?

Welcome! They can be attached right onto the case as well. I want to make a separate wall mount eventually.
Im right in the middle of a DIY calcium reactor build so I should be able to get back to working on the aqua pie in the next week or two. Two Part is costing me to much, but I'm also putting a video together of the build that I'll be sharing to my youtube channel as well once it is done.

I redesigned the AquaPi Boards to allow for more terminal blocks to all availed pins, much more flexibility for those who want to fully exploit the ESP32. I still have 1 of the original boards that I will offer for a lower price than the new ones. I also redesigned my Aquarium Overview Dashboard, see screenshot. What do you all think? My 'Reef' tanks needs a cleaning, I know, and I need to recalibrate my pH and EC probes....

Also, for ALL Reef2Reef members, I created a discount for all items on my website store for 10% off!!!
Code: REEF2REEF
AquaPi rev2
AquaPi Original

Also, Shipping can be a little high using my website, but I do offer much cheaper 3D printed items (with more to come) that doesn't always justify purchasing when shipping can be higher than the product itself, so I started and Etsy store just for that! They have much more shipping options, sales and more, but they take a little higher cut, c'est la vie.
