    Nope. It worked 100% in the original breadboard setup, and with the Adruino and the relay setup I used. The relay setup was only to disconnect power to the 5v, but I worked around that with only having the 5v for the sense, and using the 12v with the 5v reg for everything else. And when I breadboarded this setup before I had the PCBs made, it worked 100% as well.

    Like I said though, once there's juice in the caps it works 100% all the time, until the caps are fully drained. Then it doesn't want to work when it's powered up again

    I think I got it...there's a 12v Zener diode (4742) where a 5v Zener should be (4733). Will swap out later and report
