Hang on - there will be some pictures attached in a shot while.

So, if I'm getting the right output from my volumite what else might be causing my relays not to trigger? Is there anything on the relay driver board I should take a look at?

I don't hear any relays triggering when I turn the pot. You also do have + and - connected, right ? Edited by user Monday, October 14, 2013 3:49:05 PM(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified

The output signals seem to be there, both the clock and data show up nicely on my scope. SCL -> SCL SDA -> SDA What about the dip switches on the relay driver, are they supposed to be set?
