More programs for OSPi v1.4 Interval program

[DWoerner]

We have an OSPi v1.4 with 2 16-port expansion boards attached running our nursery. With 40 valves to control, 32 programs is not enough. Is there any discussion to expand the number of programs for the RPi version of the system?

32 its just an arbitrary limit that matches what the Arduino can do. I haven’t tested this but I think you can expand it yourself if you want.

Look in ospi.py for the setup of gv.sd around line 405. You want to change the value of the mnp variable.

Current line:

gv.sd = ({u"en": 1, u"seq": 1, u"mnp": 32, u"ir": [0], u"rsn": 0, u"htp": 8080, u"nst": 8,

Change to:

gv.sd = ({u"en": 1, u"seq": 1, u"mnp": 64, u"ir": [0], u"rsn": 0, u"htp": 8080, u"nst": 8,

I haven’t tested this myself but I don’t see anything in the code that wouldn’t work with >32 programs. I create a program #97 and the code works with it.

I did a quick test and created 34 programs and it worked fine (took a while but it worked.) I also manually executed program #34 and it worked OK as well.

Scott it correct in that the 32 program limit was a carry over from the micro controller version of the OpenSprinkler user interface. It does not apply to the Python program and the latest version of the UI does not include a mention of the limit on the number of programs.

In case you don’t follow the code on github like I do, you’ll probably want to know that Dan modified the main program to allow for practically an unlimited number of programs. Pull a fresh copy to get that fix.
