Float switches

[jroescher]

Another lesson learned. After a week of trying to program my RKE, I finally figured out that using magnetic probe holders for float switches is a bad idea.:bareteeth: The mount's magnets cause the float switches act in almost random ways.

And I probably owe Digital Aquatics an apology for some of the things I called them trying to figure this out.

DA has their own float switch holder...

I just get a strip of acrylic, bend it with a heat gun and drill a few holes for zip ties. Instant float switch holder.

That's my plan. I was trying to get all fancy with holders that I could move and place where ever. I thought I had a brilliant idea. It never occurred to me that the magnets would be a problem.

Funny John. You mean the magnets in that float switch didn't work right with other magnets around? Hmm.

Once I figured it out, I was a little surprised at how far away the magnets were and still affecting the switches.
