jobo atl 1500/1000 controller replacement

vs1976 · Apr 23, 2015

Folks,

We have made replacement controller for jobo 1500/1000. It does replace all of processor controlling electronics completely and adds great flexibility in terms of processor operations modes:

(0) automatic 110/220v
(1) PID temperature control, from 18C and upwards to 37C. You can set any.
(2) Ability to turn off presoak, take presoak from 6th bottle or take presoak from inlet
(3) Ability to randomize rotation pattern of tank
(4) built-in temperature compensation calculator, you dont have to look at the chart
(5) easy to use GUI allowing you to customize operations, using graphical LCD screen and dialing jog
(6) if rev 2 happens, it will have backup battery and wi-fi module so you could be able to fetch ready profiles online

Prolly something else I've forgot. That was project to upgrade our own couple of 1500s, but we can launch small batch of it. Installation requires just basic commutation, PBCs fit original places.

What do you think? Price will depend on batch size, but it will be definitely way lower than original PCBs appearing on ebay.

/vs

PS. I'll post pics later on today.

Hi,

This sounds very interesting! I have an ATL-1000, and have always missed a way to override the B/W processing temperature of 24C, the possibility to turn of presoak, and not least the possibility of making custom programs on my ATL-1000.

If you decide to go forward, you can consider me a buyer.

This is indeed excellent news! ATL1500 controllers have long been out of stock and i would be very happy to get one (or more) of these!

Those are pics of interface board, used phone to take them

That's main controlling PCB in place

sorry for the photo quality.

RobC · Apr 23, 2015

good on you. Now all I need is a 1500 to put one in.

Acutally we are considering making a small full-auto tabletop processor able to chill/heat and develop some 35 mm, couple of 120 rolls or pack of 4x5s. We were working on it, learning all sorts of machines which were done before, but had to postpone a bit. We plan to resume. Such a machine wouldnt cost much.

I'm interested too.

Renato Tonelli · Apr 24, 2015

I have the ATL-1500 and the ability to develop at temperatures lower than 24C (longer developing times) would be desirable for me.

Rolfe Tessem · Apr 24, 2015

As an ATL-1000 owner, I would be interested as well.

mzoch · Apr 24, 2015

Count me in (w/ ATL1000). BTW - why temp control up to 37deg not 38?

Valdecus · May 8, 2015

Interested in a version for the ATL-1000, count me in as well. What's the current status?

Cheers

I'd be interested but it all depends on cost!

Cheers

paul ewins · May 17, 2015

I'd be interested - I have a 1500

Trond · Jul 19, 2015

Any developments?

Trond · Nov 18, 2015

Still interested! Any news?

Still hopeful...

Gente,

Abbiamo realizzato un controller sostitutivo per jobo 1500/1000. Sostituisce completamente l'elettronica di controllo del processore e aggiunge grande flessibilità in termini di modalità operative del processore:

(0) automatico 110/220v
(1) Controllo della temperatura PID, da 18°C in su fino a 37°C. Puoi impostare qualsiasi.
(2) Possibilità di disattivare il pre-ammollo, prendere il pre-ammollo dalla 6a bottiglia o prendere il pre-ammollo dall'ingresso
(3) Possibilità di randomizzare il modello di rotazione del serbatoio
(4) calcolatore di compensazione della temperatura integrato, non è necessario guardare il grafico
(5) GUI facile da usare che consente di personalizzare le operazioni, utilizzando lo schermo LCD grafico e la selezione jog
(6) se si verifica la rev 2, avrà una batteria di backup e un modulo Wi-Fi in modo da poter recuperare i profili pronti online

Probabilmente qualcos'altro che ho dimenticato. Era un progetto per aggiornare la nostra coppia di 1500, ma possiamo lanciarne un piccolo lotto. L'installazione richiede solo una commutazione di base, i PBC si adattano ai luoghi originali.

Cosa ne pensi? Il prezzo dipenderà dalle dimensioni del lotto, ma sarà sicuramente molto inferiore rispetto ai PCB originali che appaiono su ebay.

PS. Pubblicherò le foto più tardi oggi. E' passato molto tempo ma se la modifica di Jobo ATL 1000/1500 fosse in commercio sarei interessato.

Hello - Did anybody ever receive any update on this Project? I would be rather interested in a programmable controller for my ATL 1000 and ofc for making at least the electronics of older jobo machines futureproof!

sunhouwang · Aug 19, 2023

Any update in 2023?
I am also waiting for the final product.

koraks · Aug 19, 2023

I'm going to lock this thread for a couple of reasons:

* It's a commercial offer, and as per the current forum guidelines we limit these to the Classifieds section and/or to sponsors of the forum.
* OP has been gone since 2015 and apparently never returned to answer to these requests.

I'll gladly reopen the thread if someone has something meaningful to add. By this, I mean any information that may help the people searching for such a solution. To get this thread reopened, please use the 'Report' function and indicate you have information to share and want to post it in this thread.
Alternatively, if you have a substitute/alternative to the solution presented here, please feel free to open a new thread in the Darkroom Equipment section.
