Ultimate kit semi unboxed.

Wow, no gigantic gaudy EB8. I love the sleek look. I sure hope their Alk tester follows these design cues.

Glad that you did not have any damage to your mega set.

Lol A little bulky but definitely not orange.

FYI.... My P4 is 95% setup and has been running the Elos for the past 36 hours... smooth as butter!
Just a few minor things to finish up like setting up my redox probe, cleaning up wiring, and setting up notifications. But the main functions are all good to go.
Connection to wifi takes just a few minutes with no need to go into my router settings.
All other basic functions were easy peasy, as usual.

Excellent! Gives the rest of us hope it will go as smoothly. Unfortunately, mine will be sitting idle for a bit yet as it's going on a new tank build. So many new toys sitting around waiting to be played with! But first, finish painting the walls the tank will sit near and install some laminate flooring. Hopefully this weekend!

D2mini I am going to pm you. Hope you don't mind.

Finally got mine out of the box yesterday, I'd say it took me roughly 2 hours to set everything up from organizing the wires, programming a few timers for the powerbar and the heater and calibrating all the probes and setting it up on myghl. I was confident enough after those 2 hours to go to bed with what I had done and not worry about waking up to a crashed tank.

One question about the temp probe is the calibration on mine seems to be off out of the box by about .6-ish degrees, and I don't see exactly a spot to remedy that from the controller as when I go to calibrate the temp probe it gives the ADC values from when they calibrated the probe at 20 and 30 degrees. You might ask if I'm 100% sure the probe is slightly off, but I used 5 NIST Traceable Thermometers all accurate to +- 0.2 degrees. While the controller read 24.0 they read 24.6, 24.6, 24.7, 24.7, 24.8. I also looked under the myGHL tabs to see if I could find anything there but same basic thing with my the ADC data.

Isn't it under the temperature 1 tab, where all the temp settings are adjusted, at the bottom of the left column, that has the current temp displayed, the buttons that says "Adjust Temperature?"

Ah, thanks. Once I got the wifi setup, which I did first, I stopped using GCC all together and just calibrated and programmed from the box and myGHL. That option isn't on the myGHL sheet which is almost identical from what I see except that one button.

For now, I would stick to GCC for most of your programming needs, especially anything other than the most basic settings, like in this case setting the required Temp and Hysterisis.
Use myGHL for making little changes later.

MyGHL has been a little flakey for me lately. I've done everything through GCC myself.

I wouldn't even say that's the case tbh, I did everything I wanted to do from there except this one tiny thing.

I'm only saying so because not everything has been included yet from my experience. Figured it's just safer to use GCC for the initial programming.

Got mine yesterday! This is going to be fun setting up

 

[d2mini]

If anyone here is familiar with the Programmable Logic, I'd love to get a separate thread started that is dedicated to that.
I myself have not played with this much. Would be nice to see some actual examples of tasks you set up with PL.

First package received today, contained my doser, 3 flow sensors and 2 stirrers.[emoji41][emoji41][emoji41][emoji41][emoji41]

Omg I want those blue pump heads!!!
