When it comes to figuring what you are pulling through the prop1's ULN, what can I figure a solid state relay draws? I am using a crydom csd2440 if that helps.......along with a 12v valve at 250 mA's and 2 LED spots at 60 mA's each.....should I be safe? Thanks.

I had to hunt a bit, but is seems that the CSD series relays take 15 mA at 5v; if you're using the 12v output of the Prop-1 you can expect that the relay will take about 35 or so mA -- no worries at all, the ULN can handle this is spades.  Connect the + control input of the relay to V+, the - control input to OUTx.

Excellent, thanks for your help once again........I am getting ready to experiment with the audio using the AP-8 for the first time, so I will more than likely have questions......Thanks...

Please read the docs before you play as that will save you asking a lot of questions that are already covered.
