Aquaero and Poweradjust from Aquacomputers (need ppl with info or experience on them)

[Brodholm]

Does the male to male come with the temperature sensor shoggy?

[Dr.Joe]

I think the Laingbooster scamps is talking about doesnt use the aquabus at all....

its just a simple device which "reads" the voltage on a fanheader and adjust its output to the same (or nearly the same ) voltage.

At least thats what i did with my booster (but its for fans, not for a Laing, but its basicly the same...)...

The circuit itsself only consumes around 5mA from the Aquaero, so you can connect additional fans to that channel

My Booster looks like this:

??? This IS a temperaturesensor.

That boosting thing can't use the aquabus since this is an undocumented interface and it would also require modifications to the firmware which is closed source.

To use more devices on the aquabus you will only need more y-adapters. This is a real bus system which can handle many devices (like USB for example).

Nicely done! Do you have some scematics for that? And does the voltage regulation work nicely with the aquaero? I know fanamps is a PITA. Maybe I can build me something like yours but thats able to control a ddc3.2. Does the rpm signal get through to the aquaero with that booster?

I think I misunderstood scamps about the aquabus.

Edit: By looking at the back side of the booster I see that you have what it looks like to be rpm cables from 2 fans in one wire? But if one stopped working the other would still send a rpm signal? Isnt it just waste to have 2 or more rpm signals connected to one cable?

Do you have any plans on new units? A Aquaero 5,0 or something? with more power hopefully

And also what i meant was if you get the "Male" to "Male" fitting (two threaded G1/4" on each side) thats on the picture with the temperature sensor. Or if you just get the temperature sensor if you buy one?

[Shoggy]

You will get the the connector with the integrated sensor like it is shown in the photo above

Nice! Then I don't need a extra male to male fitting for the temperature sensor. Its really clever to make a sensor that way this one is made. You can fit it right after a block if you want to. Other sensors need a T or something to be inserted in a loop.

Will these BP sensors work with the aquaero: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/big1tesestfi.html

And you don't have any plans on making some kind of booster yourselves?

[Shoggy]

No experience with this sensor but it should work because almost all sensor are 10 kOhm NTCs.

We have no plans to develop or produce a booster.

Actually, it's not what it looks like

There are 4 Connectors, 1 3pin from the Aquaero, 1 3pin wired 1:1 to that connector (for a fan or something), 1 3pin to the load and 1 2pin for 12V feed and ground

Edit: So the rpm signal just goes from the fan to the aquaero, and is not "touched" by the circuit at all

Ok, Nice. How powerful can you make these? Can you make a one enough powerful for a ddc? It must handle 18w.

[Dr.Joe]

I just checked, its speced for up to 3A....

With no more than 20W Heat at the Chip...

well thats enough! And I can make a custom waterblock for 2 if i want to.

Does this allow you to control your fans just as they where connected to the aquaero?

If possible can you send a list of components and some schematics? I would REALLY appreciate it.

Because normal fanamp doesn't work with a aquaero.

[Dr.Joe]

Yes, the voltage on the output is the same as the voltage on the Aquaero...

About the List and stuff: Just give me a little time

Thanks!!! Just give me a pm or post in the thread so others can benefit from it!

[seba84_2005]

Shoggy or this temperaturesensor should calibrate with aquaero? I've such two sensors and both show in same the place different temperature... or 70C on poweradjusc voltageregulator then safe temperature?

Regards

[Dr.Joe]

my booster circuit is pretty simple....

It's basicly the same as in this thread (watchout, german language )

It uses this OpAmp ( Datasheet )

The connections:

"+Vs" is 12V supply from the PSU
"-Vs" is ground from PSU
"Output" goes to the Pump or fans
"non-Inverting Input" is connected to the Aquaero
"inverting Input" is connected to "Output"

Theres some things to consider:

With 12V Supply and Aquaero Fan Voltage at max, the OpAmp gives ~11,5V
With an Laing DDC+ connected to the Output, you better attach a *** big Heatsink, because this thing gets quite hot

okay! Can you get a more powerful one? So you have some marginal.

And also, You can get any bigger than 3A? And also thanks! I may be giving you a pm for some assistance

Edit: What is the components name? Amplifier? I cant seem to find one on elfa.
this one?
