I soldered the 100un cap back to the 5V line and with DMM set at 200ACV (the smallest AC setting), I got 0.1. It did not matter if the pump was running on hi or lo, I got 0.1
I like that setup a lot-a whole lot! I could wire six GFI receptacles in parallel and have lots of redundancy. We’d have to feed our controllers with a separate signal ground and 24V to get down to 12V, then provide a power ground for each PDM-is that right?
Full speed is one of the settings, and that will be used for wave but a sort of rolling wave is another setting that I think would be outstanding for tide.@KISS
If the connections were as in post #1796 then the OEM controller looks after the 5V line; Joe would merely set the controller for permanent full speed (which I presume is one controller setting?)
I envisage the new setup as:
OEM 24V 2.5A supply >> wave (or tide) timer >> PDM >> OEM controller >> pump
