I switched to use SSR Relays, works fine... probably preferable since I'm sure the fridge is more than 10 Amps..

Yeah, I even tried this with a simple breadboard setup.. int Relay = 11; int Relay2 = 12; void setup() { pinMode(Relay, OUTPUT); //Set Pin12 as output pinMode(Relay2, OUTPUT); //Set Pin12 as output } void loop() { digitalWrite(Relay, HIGH); //Turn off relay...

I've got a head scratcher here... I have 2 different relays.. One 2 relay board, one 4 relay board: The 4 relay board works fine, but the 2 relay board doesn't. They both show the indicator lights popping on, but the 2 relay board doesn't switch. I thought it was a bad board, but I...

No, its not hooked up to anything.. I don't have the fridge yet. I suppose I could just hookup a lamp or something and fake out the temp sensors with heat and cold? I know there was a test image for the Arduino. Does this have any built-in test capabilities? Or am I just supposed to fake...

What's the best way to test the relays? I have my device all assembled, just want to test all the sensors and relays.

I think I found the problem.. I had 2 extra pins in my header which were intended for an LED on this board this may have been grounding out the arduino?!

I've been building my own shield, I've got the One Wire on the A4 pin and when I test it with a sketch, it works ok, BUT, it only works if I have the Analog Side of the board connected. Meaning if the 0-13 side of the board is not connected. So the serial port can be outputting: ROM = 28 FF...

Apparently I need to buy these components then.. Maybe if I have this I don't need that circuit ? I looks like those FET chips are on there..

I have a couple questions on this Brew Pi Rev C Schematic.. See my attached image.. 1. What is this component? I don't recall this being part of the original BrewPi design. Is this the resistor itself? 2. 1k resistors? Don't LED's normally want 10k resistors? 3. What do all these...

So should I buy a Leonardo? There is a Leonardo / DIY shield hex..

A month ago when I was looking for Shield Eagle files, this one is all I found. I wasn't aware that that were different shield revisions as that point. Also, I've seen people put shields together like this...

Well, I'm a software guy but I'm not too familiar with this stack quite yet.. Not a Python guy, haven't debugged an Arduino outside the Sketches in the normal IDE. It should be a matter of compiling a new .HEX using the DIY shield constants.. this should change the PIN mappings, ie: from...

Because Elko has stopped selling the PCBs! All he sells is the spark model now, but I want to DIY.. I've seen plenty of others build a DIY shield from scratch so figured this shield was better than that! This was the only Eagle file I could get my hands on... I don't want to buy one, I...

Well, looking at the code, that's the only way my Arduino pins will map. REVA, REVC shield pin mappings are different from mine. Using this shield.. http://1drv.ms/1BOCDiF
