No.
A lot of the problem is that you don't have a well-drawn schematic. I think that what you have is a couple of voltage dividers to interface a 5V arduino with a higher voltage device. I suspect a voltage divider isn't the best solution but presumably it works for someone else. So what you need is ...



simulate this circuit &ndash; Schematic created using CircuitLab
If I were you I'd pull your existing wiring apart completely and start again, arranging the components and wires so that they match this schematic as closely as possible in terms of position and orientation. Then trace the connections through carefully to make sure everything matches.
