    I followed this diagram exactly, nothing is lighting up. Pots don't even turn on lights...

    Ok, I'm back. Got a new job, and left town for training for a few months. So can I do without the relays for now? Is it not neccassary for the lights? I just want to finish the lights before I move onto something else. I Still have the same issue with the pot, where it dosen't slowly...

    Sorry guys, computers went down. I got the lights working earlier this week. I'm loving it! A few problems though: There is no ramping with the knobs. As I turn it, it either turns on or off at a certain point. 1 led isnt working. When I turn on that string, I can see a small glow from...

    Yes, following your project directly =) What is the purpose of the relay? Does the relay has it's own power? One for each relay? I am very new to all of this, straight forward dosen't apply to me =p I've got about 2 weeks for new stuff to come in. Looks like I'll finish this light project...

    Ahh, I see it now. And I just realised I bought some wrong stuff. I still do not see where the relays come in. Is that for future stuff? Like the wave makers and whatnot?

    There wasn't a transistor used in the link you posted on pg 8. Should I use one? Also, couldn't I run the lights with just the adruino? I am following this build: https://sites.google.com/site/caddnima/sandbox But the only parts not connected are the 5v relays

    Katchupoy, in that link you posted for the potentiometers, does this portion connect to the adruino in any way? This way I can plan on what not to solder/clean up until adruino is connected.

    Rol, just waiting on parts to come in, then I'll bet setting up the potentiometers.

    I have a Meanwell ELN-60-48P driver. Can I, or should I wire up a pantometer(?) I still haven't gotten anywhere else yet, been doing some reading on how to wire the 5v relays, but nothing that is similar to what we are doing. So I'm still unsure as to how it should be done.

    Thanks guys. I was following Kat's site, and have had my stuff sitting for over a month now. If anything, I am patient =)

    Thank you Katchupoy for all your help with emails and whatnot. Will be following thread now. Current I am at the point of doing something with the 2 relay modules, only thing is I'm a total noob at this so I dont know what Im to do.
