Owners of Jebao 40/25 & Apex

[thinkfuture]

I was finally able to rig up a Variable port cable to control my WP40 pumps using Apex VDM.

Things you need:
Apex & Jebao WP40/25
Ethernet cable (very cheap < $1, nothing fancy)
Wiring configuration for connecting Ethernet cable to VDM (Search for Apex VDM wiring)
2 X 1K Ohm 1 Watt resistors from Radio Shack ~$2

Things you will not need anymore:
Jeabo Controller

Idea is to reduce the 10V output from Apex VDM to 5V DC output & this is fed into the pump controller

Note: Switch the 500 Ohm in the circuit with 1K Ohm 1 Watt Resistor
View attachment 16741

Next you will need a program to switch the voltage from Apex & control the pumps.

Pros of this DIY:
You will have more control on various modes for your Jeabo pumps similar to Vortech & Tunze
you can Sync / Anti Sync the pumps
You can lower the intensity of the pumps (For users who feel the sand is blown all over)

Cons:
Did I mention this is DIY????????

Cost for the whole setup < $3 & a whole lot of Fun.

That's what I was thinking.
Sounds like I have a new project. Time to get an apex as well..

Thank you for sharing

Finally completed a cable & connected to a pump.
All I can say is, if you are impressed with the WP40 out of the box, you will be blown away with custom modes using Apex control.
Sync, Anti Sync, lower or increase the intensity at night, lower intensity during feeding....possibilities are endless. I'm Hyper!

Lol, it was perfect timing and on the weekend. Had you posted during business hrs, I probably wouldn't have seen it so quickly. But this type of stuff, I live for. I'm hitting up Radioshack tomorrow.

Should have made it while doing that

I went out, otherwise, yes, when I make ma modded cable, I will be drinking something.

Freaks...it's the same thing as it is for the Apex...your dimming module controls off a 10V system, right?

Hmmm, I've been wanting to replace my koralia with another controllable tunze. Maybe i should try one of these and whip up a cable... Thanks for the info!
