Ok, Roberto,

It reads 762 w/ no probe attached in both 7 and 10 and 509 when shorted. What does this tell you?

[rimai]

The board looks to be fine. That's the reading you should get. You will need a new probe though

[howaboutme]

OK. Thanks. Any explanation on why my initial calibration was giving me trouble? See a few posts up.

Hard to say now.

[howaboutme]

Haha..Okay, nice diplomatic answer....

Will get a new ph probe.

Hey Jack, I'm in Montgomery Village and have some extra probes in stock. Let you have one for a good price. PM me.

Ross, sent you a PM but for some reason it's stuck in the "outbox".....I assume I'm allowed to PM though I have seen other people request that function from Roberto...Hope it goes through.

Use the controllertester code in the examples folder to test each port.

roberto..this is in regard to the post about relay #6 not shutting off during feed/wc mode..i did the controllertest code..flipped through it but wasn't sure what to look for. the outlet was on when i flipped to #6. is that what you're testing? thanks.

[rimai]

You can scroll through each port turning it on and off by moving the joystick. Look at the screen to see which port is turned on.

[howaboutme]

Yeah, I did that and everything seems to be okay for the test. #6 just won't turn off even though the code is correct. This is the 2nd time this happened. First time, the problem solved itself somehow w/o me doing anything.

Are you sure you are not overriding the relay port?

[howaboutme]

Are you sure you are not overriding the relay port?

No, I am not sure. But I don't think so. I do nothing to the controller before I hit either the feeding or wc mode. I even re-uploaded the code last night to the controller and #6 still didn't recognize the mode. I am thinking tonight I will try to move the ph that's on #6 to an open outlet to test again.

How would I override the relay port? Since I am new I cannot rule that out inadvertently.

PS. I obtained a wifi module that I worked on briefly last night too. I have a few questions but will post a different thread so my questions won't get lost in this. Thanks.
