Digital Aquatics RKM-SL1

[NickRoseSN1985]

My Digital Aquatic’s controller started not working and I believe it’s the RKM-SL1 module. I opened it up and saw that the Bus 1 pins are falling apart. Does anyone know where I can find a spare one or possibly could I replace the connector?

Just to update, it has been fixed. I was watching Telegram on YouTube and thought what would he do. So I went in the garage looking for anything that would have a jack. Luckily I still had one of my clients old Rain Dial timer that I replaced with a wireless timer. The Rain dial had a jack and it was a 6pin. So decided to desolder that one and put it in the RMK SL1. Before putting the box back together I tested it and it works. The box did have to be modified with a dremel so the jack would fit. It seems like I have to recalibrate the PH. It’s showing 5.6 when it should be 8.2.

Great job. I was about to tell u you can buy this part and solder it because the board is simple through vias.. great job.

Thanks. Right now I’m having trouble with the Ph. I’ll have to take a look at it tomorrow.
