OK, finally got a chance to take a few pics

Polaris,

A few questions

Have you been able to get a NANO to work ?
Do you have any special libraries loaded?
the reason I ask, is that you define some variables and I dont see them referenced anywhere in your posted code
#define openTime 15600;
#define closeTime 16400;

I have double and triple checked my wiring. I did make 1 modification, the pins used for the outputs so I could use the header cable I had. I changed the pins in the code as well

The header cables also make a great transistor socket

OK. I am starting the project and have a few questions. I was a code guy back in the day but have done some electronics. I am using a breadboard to wire it up before I solder everything together.

Here is a picture of my nano. I am trying to figure out how to match the pinouts from Polaris's Arduino. Mine is more like JayG.



I assume that the "-" on the end is simply ground and will solder to the other ground wires. The "+" is a question as I have both 5v, 3.3v and pow pins. So, which do I connect the power regulator to?
