    Glad you "Got 'er done!", good luck with 10. I hope you've loaded all the patches and have it up to date, I've heard some things lately... you'll be done in no time now.

    Thanks @rustyshaclkferd and welcome. This is the smaller, control box. Mounted on the back of the box, and not shown, is this 12Vdc 10A power supply and 12Vdc to 5Vdc converter. On the back panel, is an 8 channel 5Vdc relay module and a fuse box. Finally is the green board mounted to the top...

    A few pages ago, I posted photos of my controlled boxes, the black box with the sensors, and the Node-Red dashboard. If you noticed in the Status column, the "aircool" and "soilsolenoid2" were turned on. The "aircool" turns on a relay in one of the controlled boxes, that's pretty straight...

    That works. If you make a batch of CS, is there a way of testing it for the properties you wish to obtain? What properties do you wish to obtain? stronger solution? CS seems to be readily available here, can you not get it there? That computer has been going for some time now...

    Go ahead, it's not like you're working with high voltages and a lot of complicated components. I just about always power up my projects though at 5Vdc...

    Though I'm connected wirelessly, it works wired also. I only suggest as it puts everything on one monitor, keyboard and mouse. Not yet but If I live long enough, and if my zone's rules catch up... Very sorry for not weighing in sooner, I've been distracted for a couple of days. Hope it's...

    Nice boxes, looked like a display... how often do you change components or software? How are things wired on the back? Sounds like someone that might understand some of my programs. Real messes, but what's there, is working 90% of the time. The Pi hangs occasionally due to the Node-RED's...

    Clean layout, @spek9. Are you an electronics teacher or something? :) Sounds cumbersome, isn't there a better way? How is your Pi connected to your pc? wired or wireless? There is a way to transfer the files back and forth between the two without emailing. I use RealVNC. "Virtual network...

    Cool, trip uneventful otherwise I hope. Did you see this from an earlier post: Glad to hear it. This should keep you busy for awhile, LOL

    Take a look at circuito, run the ~40 second video, and try it out by running the app. As you add components, you will instantly get a detailed bill of materials, wiring guide and test code for your electronic circuit. I've used this several times and I like everything except the limited number...

    Drive safely and hope the Mega and the LM443Z chip you needed, are there.

    No, I wasn't saying get one, This kit you mention, is assembled except for the case. i.e. no soldering required, as was the oscilloscope I bought. Not real kits where one soldiers components in place. One just has to figure out how to assemble the case. That's why I mentioned it.

    I use VNC Viewer to run my Pi from my pc desktop. Had to do some quick research on how to take a screenshot of the PI and then transfer it from the Pi to the pc. Results: A command line, a part of a Python program, and the Node-RED Dashboard. There are 19 settings that have to be set in the...

    You need one for each hand. ;) The only thing you put together is the case, easy kit. I recently bought this digital oscilloscope kit and found the case was the only thing that required assembly, another easy kit. I got these probes to use with it. One for each hand! Now if I can figure out...
