I would still allow some tolerance on a relay as they are manufacted to operate within a tolerance of thier max rating, current through the condiction wire, but with 1250 watts per relay and the largest load being my 400 watt lighy nothing is even close to the relay's max rating.

each relay can handle 1,250 watts so I'm good there. Only thing I haven't done is check the specs of all the pumps and fans against the breakers and wiring for my room but as they are all running now I don't think it's going to be a problem but it's a concern.

Okay I've been looking into to building a relay board but it actually looks cheaper to buy one than to design one so thats what I've decided to do. It's only $34.95 if you get it in an unassembled kit and just add $5 if you want it already assembled. I'm going to be ordering this tonight so if...

Systems I'm automating?? Well this is an evolving concept so the exact setup is sure to change but here is what I'm shooting for as of now. It will have to monitor and adjust PH, Water levels, Temp, light cycles, the system will also be in charge of doing weekly res changes. I think those are...

Not really an update on automation system. It will be a week before I have the money to build a relay switching board and wire up some wall sockets in box, but I felt like posting a pic of the grow room I'm automating on day 1 of flowering. Oh I did set up an apache web server so I can use a...

Can you post a pic of the plants and setup it could be so many things but its deffiantly enviroment

I considered that same thing but I believe if I remove them completely I could bend the plants on the left side out allow some lower branches to grow up and probably fill in the remaining space. But I will see might be a good Idea to try as a backup in case the training goes bad. Some more info...

Bump.... 50 views and only three responses come on RIU whats you guys think

Okay Heres the question; Should I kill the smaller plants on the right and center the larger ones on the left and train them to fill in the side space. I have to switch to flower soon prob 1 week at max as the larger plants will out grow that room if I don't. Like everyone yield is important so...

Okay here are the reasons I was getting the problems, both stem from faults in the ReadMe Error loading ioPortT libary: Libary if the ioPort file installed in wrong directory. Need to be in java directory as well as working directory Error loading ./jauto.ini: Simply creat a blank file in the...

I've already gotten the ability to control the I/O pins on the parallel port which means less that I have to buy but I will keep those in mind as.

Thanks I'm really more of a hardware man my software skills are lacking, but thats part of my motivation to increase my skill level. I would love to just modify an existing program as I hate coding. Thanks for the link I'll give them a look over

I actually maybe (most likely) moving away from the basic idea and just going to use C, I have some experience with C but not enough to really help with this project so I'm going to have to do so studing.
