Hi all,
I am currently using a Raspberry Pi based tank controller, using reef-pi software (https://reef-pi.github.io/).
I have been running a fairly simple setup for timers and temperature control for the last 3 months. However, I have recently acquired a Twinstar 600 LED light and I was hoping that someone would be able to give me some assistance on using PWM over the raspberry pi GPIO to enable timer based dimming and brightening of the light (sunrise/sunset).
I have been reading around the official build guide for reef-pi (https://learn.adafruit.com/reef-pi-lighting-controller) and I'm comfortable enough with the concept but I am not sure how the suggested setup could be applied to the Twinstar.
I know there are a few posts covering DIY LED builds and logic controllers for tank automation but I can't see anything that helps me.
Thanks in advance,
Nick
