sorry guys, I've been really preoccupied with up scaling the Jarduino code and haven't been on here til today.....I have a working Jarduino up-scale code now but it is still full of issues and I'm about to toss in the towel on it LOL
where are you all on the issues and what do I need to do to help ?

in the link Fernando posted it explains that you need to change a few thinks in the calibration sketch to get an accurate calibration....
if it isn't already ,in the calibrate sketch on line 21, you'll need to change it from "portrait" to "Landscape" and in the test button sketch on line 37 and 40, make sure it is also set to Landscape

github has the full working code, what I have has only cosmetic changes made to it, I tried to keep the code on github as close to what Fernando wrote as possible because is works great....I just changed some text coloring and placement on my own code...
once I'm satisfied with it, I'll post some pics and maybe a second set of codes to github if more people like the looks of it better
I thought that the calibration sketches with the github download had all the necessary changes made already but I don't think I removed the original calibration sketches, so you may be using the incorrect sketch to calibrate with.....
try what I posted in the above post, if that done work, we try something else

guys, since there is an issue with the password screen, I went in to the code on github and disabled it until we figure out where the problem is,
if you want to try it now and let me know if it is better without it, I didn't like having to punch in a code each time I wanted to look at something while I was altering the code but once I have the controller in full operation, I may add the password back...
having some sort of protection may be vital if you have some little fingers around that like to push buttons

making the Jarduino fit on a 7 inch screen
I have most of it up sized but still have a lot of issues to resolve, it's taking longer to do that the Ferduino did because after up sizing, it doesn't fill the right side of the screen, so I'm having to move stuff around and making some things even bigger to fill the void, it is more trouble that it's worth but I like doing this stuff LOL
it looks pretty good so far but still a long way from done

here's a pic of the home screen, I have several screens done but I have some issues with how it is printing the time on a few screens where you select the time something will function, it will work as is but in some places, it's printing 3 digits where it should only be printing 1 or 2 LOL I'll eventually figure it all out though

yep, I'm working on the Jarduino too, as well as the Ferduino and the Chauvet, I'm glutting for punishment, I ain't slept maybe 2 hours in the last 2 days LOL
the port expander is for the return and skimmer pumps and other equipment that only needs turned on and off with relays, all the pins on the Mega are being used for PWM and sensors so it was necessary to expand
the heater,chiller, and a couple other items are all there was room for on the mega....Fernando believes in utilizing everything available to him LOLlooks good what is the chip in the front for? I see the rtc on it looks good icsp header only real pain in the *** with the last ones I had was the batteries where special order from online to get them. And surface mount battery holders are crape they keep popping off when trying to put a battery in the holder just my 2cents worth of help but other than that it looks nice man did you keep it under the 10x10 size? or what ever the small is
