That is great to hear! I'll look into how much it would cost to get one shipped to Aus in the next couple of days, awesome job! P.S I wanna see some more pics of it tooSo I've completed the HAT testing successfully
Only I2C I couldn't test (don't know what happened to my PWM module) but expect it to be ok as well. The board is relatively easy to build and fits nicely on the PI.
The files can be found at https://github.com/vandegraaf/Reef-PI_PCBs
the Reef-PI_HAT.zip file contains all the required files for ordering PCB's. There are some improvements to the PCB lay-out to have better connections for power and the dosing pumps but should have no impact on the functionality.
There is also a PDF file describing all the connectors and related GPIO signals.

What do you want to see? I don't have an aquarium yetThat is great to hear! I'll look into how much it would cost to get one shipped to Aus in the next couple of days, awesome job! P.S I wanna see some more pics of it too
, am still in the 'planning phase'. Should become a reefer 250, still reading.

I have two, i used one for several months and another one dedicated for makerfaire. My learning was its nice, you dont need a internet or even local network, but I dont have that usecase. I always have internet, and almost always with a internet connected device (laptop or phone) and I most time I found walking upto the tank is a lot of work
, when the everything is right here with me (since i have laptop or phone). I can see folks with bigger tanks have use for something like this. I would expect some improvement around turn on/off (like adding mechanical buttons) etc.
you can edit the interval and set it to something lower, like 15 or even 5 seconds.
I ordered from jlcpcb.com. PCB's are very cheap but shipping costs high (especially for fast delivery). Hat a quick view at allpcb.com as well, they may be cheaper for single boards (5) and fast delivery for $20. For me the advantage from jlcpb is that you can upload the gerber (zip) file and directly see the result and if it's producible. I've read some claims that sometimes for more complex boards they suddenly cancel the order without notice, just refund. Of course for professional use this is not ok, but for our purposes, if they can't make the board, we probably can't solder it....

how much difference you are seeing? if its consistent and within +/- 0.5 degree Celsius then its ok.
