Partially Solved MatterControl showing bed and hotend same temp

I installed a new controller board and hotend ordered from Robo, checked and double-checked the wiring (and their left-handed Z Axis is incorrectly shown REVERSED on the diagram BTW). Now when I try to pre-heat the hotend to install filament and try things out, the BED temperature in MatterControl is rising right along with the hotend. As soon as it hits 100C of course it throws an error. I then tried preheating the bed and a similar fluke -- the two temperature readings are rising together in sync. I did have to uninstall and reinstall MC to get it to recognize the printer after the board swap. Any idea if this is just some kind of funky setting in MC?

Note: I also re-flashed the board using Arduino 1.6.9 just to make sure that wasn't the problem. Is there some kind of bug in their Arduino sketch ROBO3DR1PLUSV2 that is mixing up these two thermistor inputs???

The picture is when I tried pre-heating the bed. Notice the identical "actual" temps

 

the bed and hotend heat when requested, and they definitely heat separately. It's just that the "actual" shown in MC is coming back the same for both (any time I heat either). There's nothing that looks wrong about the T0 and T1 connectors from the outside view. I've taken the two connectors for T0 and T1 off and taken a picture of where they were attached. What else should I try to get a picture of?

THANKS!

Edited to add pictures of boards

 

What's the simplest software to try? I've only ever used MC and it worked fine for years before all this...

 

Well I am on hold calling them to ask for another board. You'd think if I paid $100 to them they'd send one that's been tested or something. If I wanted non-working junk or things I'd have to futz with I could have gotten something cheaper. Cura didn't show anything at all in the actual temperatures for either the bed or the hotend. I tried preheating the bed and it did get warm, but the actual stayed at zero in cura.

 

I was getting the M999 errors (or something) from the thermistor on the hot end spontaneously reading ZERO mid-way through a print and stopping with a hardware error. I replaced the hotend and got the same thing on the first print, so I figured it must be the controller (somewhere). I've also had the charred D8 connector where the bed never heats, and had to clean that up several times. I figured if I replaced the controllers at least I wouldn't have the charred D8. I also ordered a few of "phoenix 4-pin connectors" (those green type that are used for both the power leads and the D8/D10), so those would be clean.

 

Yep. Both T0 and T1 show connected on southern and northern posts. So I guess it is the RAMPS board specifically.

 

It was removed, so yeah. bad RAMPS! Is there any reason to not just get a RAMPS 1.5 or 1.6 on my own? They seem pretty inexpensive and it seems like they are designed to handle more heat/amps.
