    I think i did it!!!!...thanks to Leebert! Add this lines to each pot in the sketch: Looks like this in the skecth:

    The bug of the lcd still exist in mine....even with the capacitor.....when i reach the "102" than i get 3 digits until i reset the power supply. Wonder if there will be a way to work always with the range of 0 to 999 ?? Other thing is that i have to change the pots conections because when i...

    Sorry i did not understand! When it shows 351 it means 51??? In fact what i notice in mine is that when i power on it shows only 2 digits but if i rotate the pot to full scale it shows 102 but when i decrease it than shows 3 digits .... !! Dont know whats happening(even with the capacitor)...

    Gareth what a beautifull piece of wood art that you had made!!!....stunning!

    The values for that drop colision where: D1-1000 D2-750 DD-800 CD-354 too high isn´t it?? The distance from the end of the nozzle(where the drop falls) to the water surface is my case is 42,5cm.

    Hi once again. Gareth what you said is totally correct in my opinion,even if my arduino skills are very basic too.... When we use the command "delay" the máx. value of the potentiometer is 1023 that refers to 1023ms.For other scales of time you should use the map() function to map this to the...

    Sleep does not seem to arrive.... :) The delay comand it suppose to be máx 1,023 s . Alternatively we could use the time unit command of milisec instead of delay ... there we had the freedom to choose the maximum and minimum corresponding time of the potentiometers :) hope i am not saying...

    Well for today it´s enough ..... I think my problem is even the CD delay! ..... Gareth the camera delay was designed by you for the camera trigger and not for the flashes .... they react faster than the camera trigger and I need to trigger them later, so the time scale is short and I need a...

    Testing and testing....it´s not easy to syncronizate everything.I´ve got so many "crowns" but double colisions not yet!..... could you tell me more about times and delays of the potentiometers? ....the delay time of the CD starts counting from the moment the Arduino sends the second signal to...

    The CD pot only change the Drop Delay if we move it with the sytem working continuously....on cycle mode i did not notice any problem. Gareth you are very kind to help with your tips....thanks a lot. Will do some more tests and show them here. :)

    Thats it!! ....i´ve changed the connection and now it only does 1 cycle :) ...i´m thinking that changing the buttonSTATE in the sketch it would do the job also.

    I´m already using pin 11 :) ....will try change the polarity of the conection like your diagram..... few minutes i will say something ;)

    Well i haven´t change nothing at all in the sketch.....don´t know what´s happening......i think my resistor´s connection on the start button it´s diferent from yours....i have conected the resistor to ground instead of 5v !!

    Well....first impressions after testing with the solenoide valve that came a few hours ago: It´s very dificult to adjust the "hot point"! and that´s because the flashes(in my system) wont stop firing and firing...its a mess of lights :) Gareth i was thinking that maybe the best way to do the...
