Very nice those boards look to have a lot of tiny bits on them
Glad your doing the little stuff .. How are you doing the surface mounts glob it
On then use desolder braid to clean it up?
No mater how your doing it it is great looking and keep up hard work it is really

Could be wrong but I think the idea was to stack them in order to take up as little realestate as possible. plus this is basically modular so you can start small and do whatever you want with it. No reason you couldn't spread it out though...

The current boards can't be stacked other than the arduino mega and the lcd screen.
I am planning to make a bunch of smaller modules instead on one large box.
I really like the surpac enclosures and have this one which will hold my motherboard, lcd shield, and lcd screen.

I will be using this enclosure for the pressure sensor board so it can be mounted in the stand right next to the sump using a usb cord to connect it to the main box.

I still have to find some nice boxes for the outlets and atlas board.

I figured now would be a good time to post some photos of the new and improved UI!
Led control - When you click on a channel new options show up for maximum brightness and a delay. The delay will let you have different channels come on at different times.
Moonlight control
Weather Control
Settings Home
Time/Date Settings
Atlas Stamp Calibration
ATO Calibration
Let me know what you think.

Absolutely amazing!! I've been following from the beginning. I think this is by far the best DIY controller anyone has done. Congratulations.
