When I got my kit it came with the relay and top and bottom mounting clamp. I used an old 12v 10amp laptop power supply. I then purchased some dc adapters. Here is what a parts list would be from Amazon

When I built my keezer I had the same question you did. I stood at autozone for an hour looking at hatchback and lid lifts. I was not going to pay $40 a piece. When I got home I looked on amazon and came across electric actuators. For $59 I was able to get an 18" actuator with a relay...

Oh boy they know me well at lowes after the 14 visits in two days. First problem do not go the brass fitting route as I had so much foam. I then switched out to PVC... Connected on both ends I added repair fittings so that I can take the flow meter and solenoid valve out so that I can...

Could you just review for me? On your pictures where does the green ground go that comes in from the DC power jack socket? From the power jack white goes to port 1 on x5 (12v) From the power jack black goes to port 1 on x4 (ground) Power converter red input cable goes to port 2 on x5...

Captain, I have been working on the solenoid valves over the last couple of weeks and finally got those working. Using the admin console I went in and set up tap 1 for gpio port 21. When I click on save it will flash and revert back to a blank field. This is Just like when I was having...

Ok.... I am getting closer. Breadboard is built, hooked up to relay module and works fine. My x4 Port 1 - goes to solenoids Port 2 - goes to power supply Port 3 - goes to voltage converter My x5 which is 12v Port 1 - goes to solenoids Port 2 - power in from power supply Port...

You answered all of my questions and was able to do the build. Could you explain this for me? Looking at your schematic for how you hooked up uln1. Port 9 which is the top. If you look at it the left side is getting 5v from the gpio port and the right side of uln1 is hooked up to...

A few more questions if you have time. Take power out of the loop for the uno and rpi as that is already done and not needed. I believe the three screw post for x1 go to your flow meters only??? If so I can eliminate this. From x4 is ground running to the flow meters and solenoids...

Hello CaptnDelta Thank you very much for all of this. I have a few questions. 1. On the relay board does your 5 shut off valves only hook up to them? AND NOT YOUR FLOW METERS 2. What is your brand of Shut off valves that you are using? What reasonably priced solenoids with a...

Also, if you are having this problem in kiosk mode on boot close kiosk mode and open up another browser window does it work this way?

Mr Captain Thanks for the reply. I will go off of option #3 that you provided. Could you provide more detail as in what hardware besides the one level converter would be needed? Also would you be able to provide another picture what the outcome would be, like you did a few posts back?

I have gotten everything working great and thanks to everyone for the support. I am very interested I'm getting the shut off valves working next but need to get a lesson 101 on the gpio port as my understanding is that the valves and fans get plugged directl into certain pins on the gpio...

From the instructions on the new version release what does it mean that it supports Amazon Fire tv and how does that work? From messing around with the Amazon Fire and the echo (my new friend, Alexa) I had no idea it has a built in browser.

Good question as I was thinking this the other day that I could make a box or purchase those velleman plastic boxes that they have next to the rpi at micro center. Since I had to go the other day to get the uno ($9.99 and already soldered) for testing I so these enclosures for $2.99 a...

Dumb question. How are these dialed in for a close number? If you purchase the $9.95 adafruit ones directly from them do you pick a number between the 1680 and 1328 let's say 1450. Now see how many ounces you poured and how much you registered in rpints, then adjust accordingly?

Guys, I cannot thank you enough for the support on this. I hooked up the Uno and within seconds it was working. If a user like me is only using the Raspberry Pi for Raspberry Pints what is the difference with going with an Uno over the Alamode? I probably read this answer at least once...

So I have attached a pic of the alamodes. I am powering the alamode by a wall charger which is powering the alamode. I am using one of the white iPhone charger plugs with an a to b USB charger I did the soldering on the first alamode and I thought I did a good job and it looks great...

When I installed the arduino IDE 1.6.7 on my mac I hooked up the alamode by an a to b USB cable. Lights come on. D13, 5v0, and 3v3 and stay solid yellow Under tools port I only get /dev/cu.bluetooth and PDA-Sync

Thanks for the assistance. I have tried those steps without any success. Where can I find the proper instructions on uploading the boot loader or either on how I could check the boot loader?

This is from the programmer Same message as well as doing it manually from the term window
