Hi, thanks for your efforts here; this is a great project. I'm not all that familiar with Arduino programming, so forgive me if this question is obvious. First up, I am going to try and make this project more universal. In that, rather than looking for a specific set of codes, it uses a translation table to convert the codes from the Spa into something universal (maybe Modbus); that way, in theory, at least, it will be possible to use the same type of device with a lot of different systems. But to do that, I need to be able to reproduce the messages that are being sent from the Spa on my workbench. So I thought I would ask if anybody else has already built something to act as a faux_Balboa controller already, or perhaps can somebody explain what the Balboa Helper is for, because it looks like that it might do that exact thing (except I can't get it to work) Thanks in advance.
