What affordable relay do you guys reccomend if i want to be able to switch some 220v pumps on. And some 12v fans? Ebay of dealextreme link would be awesome.

But when i touch the screen nothing happens. Als with button programm no reaction to the screen. I have bought the recommended screan from itead.

I can ping it no problem there. I am now trying at port 7000 but not luck.

I am now trying to run the web server test code at 192.168.0.177. And i get this result:
server is at 0.0.0.0
Initializing SD card...
SUCCESS - SD card initialized.
SUCCESS - Found index.htm file.

But 192.168.0.177 is pingable, so I am stumped.

SUCCES :ymparty: :ymparty: :ymparty: :ymparty: :ymparty: :ymparty: :ymparty: :ymparty:

After throwing away the ethernet library and recopying it. It is now working the way it should. What an awesome computer. Thank you Fernando for all your help.

I was too early, had it working exact one time now. Now again it is not working. At least i now know it can work. So back to troubleshooting again :)

If i test the response of the board. I get the right response right after it boots (1 sec after display goes on). Then later no response. Then reset response within 1 sec and later then 1 sec no more response. Tried 2 different sd-cards.

-------------------------------- Last edited Wed Jan 28, 2015 8:08 am --------------------------------

It seems i am getting somewhere. After trying my third sd-card it started working again. So the issue seems to be sd-card related. What are the exact specs for the sd to qualify?

also double check your power at the shield, I was getting low voltage to the TFT all together I now use VIN from db25 with 6 volts and it works every time.
Happy reefing to all.

i have mine working now the way it want :) . I use the water temp for temperature of my sump. led temp for the temperature in my aquarium and ambient for ambient. I als build a floatswitch that get's triggered if my return pump fails. I adjusted the code so that when that happen my reactor ph reads 25 so that i can use the reactor pH alert of joy reef to see if my return pump is still functioning :) . Now all for me left to build is a nice fan with relay to cool in the summer. And i am still thinking on how to build something to see if my streamer is still active. I actually sold my profilux system beceause i like the ferduino much more.

Should i better use a ssr of a normal relay to switch a 12v fan?

Hi!

Glad to hear.

To a fan untill 500 mA an ULN2003 is enough.
