Create a sequence of zone timer nodes. Here, each timer duration is set to 3s . To create the sequence, you'll need to define a program configuration. · There are many tutorial on how to do this. 2) Once you have a working raspbian and you are logged in, you need to install git by running. apt-get install git. 3) Change directory to /usr/local. cd /usr/local. 4) Clone the unified firmware repository. This will create a directory into /usr/local called OpenSprinkler.One thing you can check is the wire resistance. Use an online calculator to compute the wire resistance, such as this one: keep in mind that you need to input the round-trip distance. Typical sprinkler valves draw about 200 to 300mA holding current, and if the voltage drops below 18V AC they are unlikely to stay on.If you have already installed opensprinkler firmware onto the Pi then you can select a station (click the associated cog). In the settings popup, click the Advanced tab and select “GPIO” as the station type. You can now select the gpio pin that you want to toggle when this station needs to water. Make sure you then wire up that gpio pin to ...OpenSprinkler Pi (OSPi) is an open-source sprinkler / irrigation extension board for Raspberry Pi (RPi). It is based on the design of OpenSprinkler, but its ‘brain’ is an RPi instead of an AVR microcontroller. The idea of OSPi first came when I noticed that many users were setting up RPi to work with OpenSprinkler.Participant. If by “run 2 valves at the same time”, you mean run 2 stations/zones at the same time, then yes, you can. The stations that you want to run in parallel must have the sequential attribute set to off.

This way, if the WiFi signal is lost, the remote station will not remain on for more than 2 minutes, to avoid it being left on indefinitely. As a result, if you try to read the remaining water time from the remote station, it won’t be more than 2 minutes. The exception is when the ‘special station auto-refresh’ is turned off.Rain gauge is currently not supported: at least not supported if you want to use it to stop watering when a certain amount of rain is received. Technically rain gauge works like a flow sensor — the reed switch internally turns on and off repeatedly to indicate the rate at which rain is accumulated. You can use rain gauge in the sense that you ...May 20, 2020 · I have created two prototype board variants from Opensprinkler in Kicad.
