Update rig - new aquacomputer components (D5 NEXT and AMBIENTpx)

Wednesday, February 24th 2021, 3:54pm

Hello
What I intend to do:

1. Replace the pump D5 Pump Motor with USB and Aquabus Interface (41093).
2. Add a phenomenal AMBIENTpx effect to the monitor (AG353UCG).
https://youtu.be/XNnAkMD9L1I?t=11

I have Aquaero 6 PRO. I care about maintaining full control over devices and lighting (Aquaero / Aquasuite X)


Ad 1.

I'll buy it ULTITUBE D5 200 PRO reservoir with D5 NEXT pump
https://shop.aquacomputer.de/product_inf…853&language=en

I want to connect it to Aquaero
Do I need an extra cable?
Something like that? https://shop.aquacomputer.de/product_inf…487&language=en

There is a cable in the box for connecting RGBpx LED ring - where to connect it?
The priority is control Aquaero/Aquabus and I see that there is one input that works or as aquabus or as RGBpx LED.

Ad 2.
To create this effect as on the movie (AMBIENTpx). I need Farbwerk 360?

If so, does this set be appropriate?
farbwerk 360 -> https://shop.aquacomputer.de/product_inf…roducts_id=3798
RGBpx lighting set for monitors, 60 addressable LEDs -> https://shop.aquacomputer.de/product_inf…roducts_id=3771
RGBpx LED strip 32 cm, width 10 mm, 15 addressable LEDs -> https://shop.aquacomputer.de/product_inf…roducts_id=3767
RGBpx cable, length 4 cm or 10 cm -> https://shop.aquacomputer.de/product_inf…roducts_id=3762 or https://shop.aquacomputer.de/product_inf…roducts_id=3763

I can not connect the LED strip directly to the LED strip and needs a cable. What did I write a line above?


Ad 3.
What else do I have to buy, for D5 pump?
What else is still needed in addition to Farbwerk 360, LED strips, cables to connect the LED to LED?


I am asking for your help.
I want to buy everything at one time. He does not want to order missing elements. That's why I need to understand it all.

that there is one input that works or as aquabus or as RGBpx LED.
RGBpx requires an USB connection, it is not possible to control RGBpx with Aquabus.
This applies to all RGBpx devices.

In this video there is one input which is either RGBpx or aquabus.
That's how I understand it.

If I connect RGBpx ring to the D5 pump, will I have full flow control when I connect the pump via USB to my computer?


Hmmm...
I wonder if each edge of the monitor AMBIENTpx should have a separate assigned address, and with it a separate farbwerk 360 cable?
Can I address more than 90 LEDs on one farbwerk 360 output?

New: aquasuite X


///edit
I have the answer for number of LEDs.
Technical details
- four channels for up to 90 LEDs each

Yes.
