tonight I am defeated but tomorrow (or the next day) ... victory! ... i hope

cubs-failure[1] Being a life long cubs fan, I've learned a few things about failure.  And tonight, I failed to have the relay boards pour more than 2 shots in a row.  Prototyping the bartender is seriously getting annoying.

I'm not sure if I fried the relay boards I've been using for the past few months.  It is possible.  The timing seems off now too which makes me a bit more likely to believe this..  I need to see how much work it will take to mod one of the boards into a master board.  I may need to do a trip to the uber geeky electronic store tomorrow instead of just Radioshack.

I did find out that 8 PSI when shooting liquid out can cause a mess too.  5 PSI is far nicer  Also the 12V valves suck.  They leak air which makes them pointless and me angry.  Plus they were a pain to mount.

However, I think a sledgehammer may be both more fun and relaxing.
