Buster (latest pi distribution) not working.

[RottenMutt]

I updated my raspberry pi 3b over winter and it didn’t work this spring the first time I tried to run the sprinklers. I reimagined to Buster, and it still doesn’t work. Tried raspberry pi 4 and same result. I first replaced the ospi board and transformer and it still doesn’t work. Seems like the pi isn’t communicating to ospi…. Need help.

When you compile the firmware did you get any error message.

Thank you for the reply Ray. No errors. Clean buster installation with OpenSprinkler.
Can you confirm buster x64 works?

I am pretty sure it works. There was an issue with sensors not working due to wiringPi discontinued, but that has been fixed. I am not aware of any other issue of the firmware with Rpi.

Pretty sure isn’t confirmation! I’ve tried both 64 and 32 bit versions. Guess I need to figure out how to install a older version.

Well, if I had a RPi 3b or 4 I can test. But I don’t know anywhere to buy them. So I rely on users to report. So far I haven’t seen any report of issues.
