Hydra 52 settings including AIP files

ckozma · Feb 1, 2016

I have been searching everywhere for a good source for AIP configuration files for my new Hydra 52 HD's. There are some decent threads on other forums, but most are a bunch of screenshots and no config files. We really need a place to upload configuration files. This thread will be for posting your lighting configuration, but you will need to include your AIP file. If you choose to screenshot awesome, it will make it easier for others to see your graph visually. Please do not post any config's without also posting your AIP file. Unless overdriven, these settings will work for both HD and non-HD versions of the Hydra 52.

I found this AIP file on a forum somewhere, but I just searched for an hour and could not find it again. If this was your program, contact me and I will give you credit! This is the program that I am currently trying out! Its 'Bar Reef 2'.

And here is the AIP config file link for this graph: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u5ov6ytn4l4qaai/Bar Reef 2.aip?dl=0

I know there is a facebook group for Ecotech users where there are a lot of Radion schedules. With AI being owned by Ecotech there must be a users group somewhere.
Just checked and there is one.

Thanks! I joined that group and maybe can get something going, there are only a few aip files on there and nothing like what I am looking for. I am looking for files similar to mine where the lights change spectrum and intensity during the day to more closely match the sun. Most people simply choose their color combination and ramp the morning and evening, but I would like a more complicated program that actually mimics what the sun does. Hopefully I can some people to tweak this program even!

That's what my Radion schedule does. Seems to be more people on the Ecotech group like to share files than the AI group.

Yeah I was hoping to get some AI people interested in uploading and sharing more complicated schedules. I will be working on this myself for sure and sharing. It would be nice if there were a way to translate the Ecotech schedules into AI. They are both just XML files that are renamed. I have already been looking into this and could write a webapp that does it, but the radions have 6 color channels and the hydra 52 HD's have 7. Just have to figure that part out, or else get some people involved with tweaking this schedule to their liking and uploading for people to try.

I would be really interested in this. Any progress on the AI group forum?

Any luck with files, I got one for the HD'S I will upload later as I'm on my phone right now and unable to do so. But here's a screen shot for now.

I checked the Facebook but it's a closed group. I joined but waiting for them to except.

damon.strange.5 · Apr 1, 2016

Someone pm'd me, I got a notification saying I received two but nothing is showing up in my inbox.

damon.strange.5 · Apr 1, 2016

Not sure if it's on my end or yours but post here and I'll try to respond from my end

damon.strange.5 · Apr 1, 2016

Nevermind seems like everytime I post in here I get a notification saying I sent myself a private message. What the?

Thanks! I uploaded that one to myAI and looked at it but ended up going with a simpler program for now. Making me rethink that decision now haha.

It's not really MY program, he was build by D-D The Aquarium Solution

Has any one checked out the SPS AB+ lighting schedule? It's done with Radions but interested to see if anyone has tried to get the same spectrum with the AIs.

that is actually what Iam trying to replicate right now except not using their 7 hour photoperiod. Its pretty simple, 100% on rb, b, uv, v, and 30% on cw, r, g. Then use acclimation mode to reduce as needed.
