I am interested in using OpenSprinkler (probably the BeagleBone version) to control nutrient solution distribution to an aeroponic/hydroponic system. It uses solenoids that usually cycle around 0.5 to 10 seconds on and a minute to several minutes off. Would this be an appropriate use of the system? Thanks for the help.
I think what you described is already supported by the interval program, which is available on all of OpenSprinkler (microcontroller-based), OSPi, and OSBo.
Sorry, I didn’t notice you mentioned sub-second on-times: this is currently not supported. The minimum run time is 1 second, but this can certainly be modified in software to support sub-second run time.
We'll be on vacation from Sunday, May 25 to Sunday, June 1.
Orders placed during that time will be shipped on Monday, June 2.
Thank you for your understanding! Dismiss
