As of v1.3:
Added on-board mini-relay (120V / 2A)…Whats new in OSPi 1.4:
Some other minor differences include changing the type of the on-board relay…So, how does one actually use it? I get how to wire it, it’s the software control, that is unclear…
Shouldn’t be too bad I suppose.
Thanks,

As Dan said, the OSPi software has a relay plugin that shows how to turn on/off relay.
The microcontroller-based OpenSprinkler has started supporting the relay from firmware 2.0.9 — it’s implemented by allowing a station to activate relay (similar to the way Master station is handled). Also, you can define a relay pulse value, which defines if the relay should be pulsed open/close, or should remain open as long as the associated station is open. Similar support will likely be integrated into the OSPi software in the future.
I tried to Flash the OS image to another BBB thinking that maybe the first one was having troubles flashing…both boards had the same response – the image did not flash.
