I ordered some boards made up to construct some Jebao DC pump cables. The board is an open source file created by Roberto Ramia, creater of the Reef Angel Controller.
The boards arrived in Friday (took about two weeks to get through fabrication),I soldered two up tonight for Erik Schaelling (ErikTS) and they are ready to go. He'll need to solder the +/- and data line from the Jebao pump cable and add a cable to the two pin jumber on the board then it should connect to his Apex. I'm building a couple of more for my Reef Angel. No more Jebao box, everything will be controlled by the Apex or Reef Angel. A little more coding (there is a lot available out there to run these pumps to get us started) and we should be able to do pretty much any mix of things, in any order we choose. It should make some fantastic waves. I'm hoping that I can get mine to go opposite my lights so I have a diminshed flow at night.
Couple of pictures of one of Erik's boards.Pardon the bumps around the solder joints, I still needed to clean off the flux splatter.

I may have a couple of extra boards available for people, but understand they are surface mounted passive components and not the easiest to solder (which is why one of the resistors is crooked).
