redtop's Ferduino controller

What other parts are required besides these?
Where can I find information on the actual build (connections, wiring, etc.)? (ie., I see a proto board is required, but what do I do with it?)
I'll try to do a parts break down here since I've relocated most of the links
the Ethernet shield : http://www.ebay.com/itm/181229572768?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
the TFT LCD 3.2WD screen here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221343348573?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

the RTC here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221403480973?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
the proto board here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006SJSBBM/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i03?ie=UTF8&psc=1
relay board here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C8O9KHA/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i04?ie=UTF8&psc=1
the project case here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FMY5FE/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
pH stamp here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00641R1PQ/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and because I tried to DIY this but mine looks like crap compared to these,
I will likely get the Atlas single component board for my pH stamp here: https://www.atlas-scientific.com/product_pages/components/single-carrier.html
or I may get this instead so I can upgrade as I need it to use the ORP and Density features as well as the 2nd pH stamp: https://www.atlas-scientific.com/product_pages/components/multi-uart-carrier.html
I don't run a Ca Rx, yet, but with another pH circuit, I can control the CO2 with this controller to keep it's pH in check
all the connectors and cables are coming from Amazon and Ebay as well, just do a search for DB9 serial straight through cables and chassis mounts connectors, you'll find everything you need,same for the 3.5mm stereo connectors....
if the DB9 ain't enough wires(9 wires), they make a DB15(15 wires) and DB25(25 wires) as well...I may end up having to use one or the other of those as well
and Fernando's code is here: https://github.com/fernandogarcia I used the English version
Where can I find information on the actual build (connections, wiring, etc.)? (ie., I see a proto board is required, but what do I do with it?)
Try www.ferduino.com it's all there
So is this all I need to know for the circuits?

I am looking for a new reef controller and after all considerations and availability, ferduino looks great. Sadly, the board can't be ordered and I would have to take the single component route, like in the example photo with all the boards and wires... which would look my current setup - to bad.
So, will the ferduino board soon be available again?

I think I have my version of Fernandos code ready for download at github but I can't figure out how to add the extra libraries to it, here's the code though https://github.com/willie111/Ferduino-7.0 and you can get the extra libraries from Fernandos download until I figure out what I'm doing wrong with mine

I am having some issues again with the LED testing and manual adjustment bar graphs and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, I've stared at all the numbers over and over again and can't find the issue but everything else seems to be functioning correctly, the home screen bar graph is perfect.....
I don't have a spare w5100 Ethernet module yet to test the web connection out either so if anybody wants to try it out and let me know if it's working, I'd really appreciate it

I've been busy with life and really been slacking on my controller stuff, I've about forgot everything that I learned about Arduino, there was another guy on Fernandos Ferduino site that added the Joy Reef stuff to the upscaled code, I did a little home screen work to it and added back the Fahrenheit stuff he removed but other than that, it's like he had it, I hope it works properly, I don't have a way to test it yet

Hey Willie!
Have a new job for you.
A new version is available.

Best regards.
Fernando Garcia
finally have the new version upscaled and loaded to my github
https://github.com/willie111/Ferduino-7.0 major kudos to you Fernando for reducing the code size and still make it function properly, very nice job, even with all my added cosmetic stuff, it's still about 17,000 bytes smaller than the original code
