So I just wrote in the code to run the atlas stamps. As of now I only have the pH stamp to use with it but I think the way I have it setup will make it very easy to use.
The controller automatically detects which of the four stamps are present and what type of stamp they are so you don't have to configure anything when adding new atlas stamps to the controller. You can also select one of the temperature sensors to use with the stamp reading. This way the atlas stamps use the temperature of your tank to make the reading as accurate as possible.
There will also be a reminder on the stamp screen of the last date you calibrated your probe so you know when its time to re-calibrate it.

I just have a mega 2560 and Sainsmart relay board. So you just have to define pins used to pull the relay LOW and you're all set. This uses no shift registers just pin-to-relay direct control. The Ethernet side is straight forward as the code is already done for the "layout" of the page.
I have tried out the sketch worked fine. used small jumper wires to hook it all up. I have the Ethernet board mounted on the mega then used the jumper wires to go to the relay board. I was wondering how small of an arduino I could use with this and still use the Ethernet I was thinking of some kind of wireless set up

Without highjacking the thread... I should have mentioned this is optimized for safari and iPhone to be best viewed. I've received reports of relays 11-16 not loading on the page without a manual refresh and I'm looking into this. But this only applies to those using Firefox, IE and chrome.
I hope this bit of code comes in handy for the wifi side of the DIY controller because, I assume, everyone would like some form of relay control/temp readings remotely. One could also add "triggers" for feeding mode etc very easily on the page. Just trying to be helpful with what knowledge I have for this project if its not used at all...no Biggy thanks all!

Yay!!!! I have an arduino mega and a due waiting to be used.
Hope, all your finals went well. Looking forward to giving this controller a try. Thanks for the time and effort.
