Looks good, in your picture all outlets are in manual mode, when you're done playing if you press the "resume" button on home page they will go back to auto mode. Also looks like your PH is a little high. :) I quickly added the analog PH circuit code last night, looks like it needs adjusting. I'll get that fixed. :)

Edit Reason: explaining

I was testing all my relay individualy and found out when i open my relay number 3 the 5 open too and .. is it a ground problem? I ohmed all all my hot and neutral when wiring my relay box maybe something is shorting inside.
i press outlet 3 or 5 = faint ligth on 3 and 5
i press outlet 5 or 3 = 3 and 5 are ligthed up normally.
if i press on outlet 3 or 5 = 3 and 5 shutdown.

That has to be original, you even have a handle. :) Since the relays are working now it was probably the VGA cable missing a wire or one crossed over.

I noticed that you are tying all the commons together on the relays by jumping from one to another. This requires two wires held by a single screw. I am having difficulty fastening down just one wire, and in doing so, I have stripped one of the binding posts. I have been using 14 gauge THHN multi strand copper wire throughout for all my AC current. I need it to be capable of handling the load for one or two heaters.
What gauge are you using?
And to anyone else, have you had similar issues stripping out the binding posts? What gauge wires are others using?
Does anyone know the specs for maximum gauge on these relays. I can't seem to locate specs that state the max size.
Thanks
