    ok in the breadboard setup, if I remove the 10k to ground for the temp sensor it works properly when the 5v is taken away. if I put it back in, nothing works

    :EDIT:

    I had a 100 Ohm instead of a 10k ohm in the breadboard, now the breadboard circuit works perfectly. I do have the 10k in the PCB though

    :EDIT 2:

    Ok it workes perfectly in the breadboard if I take away the 5v and leave the 12v connected. if I unplug it all, it doesn't work

    Leave the Louverduino plugged in for an hour before you try testing again.

    ok so in the breadboard setup it works. the servo moves based on temp sensor reading, but it moves to the off position ONLY if the 12v stays connected. if I unplug it all the LED dims and flickers and the servo makes a whining noise while attempting to move to the closed position. I need to remake my 4p to 3p adapter so I can test the board more

    good news. I tried it in the circuit board again. and for some reason it's working 100% now

    I'm going to try it out a few more times just to be sure though

    I have no idea what I just read or what I looked at, but I was entirely fascinated throughout this entire thread. Pretty cool stuff you've got going on here, even if I don't understand a lick of it.

    Good luck with the project, hope you get the kinks and bugs worked out.

    lol thanks

    it seems to be working pretty good so far, I'm going to do more testing today and make sure it's 100%.

    ok so I lied. it's working 95% lol. When you first plug it in when the caps are completely drained, it doesn't want to do anything. if you unplug it and plug it back in a few times it works fine, and will continue to work fine as long as there's some juice in the caps

    Weird...did it do that with your original board?
