What Software is OpenSprinkler written in?

[ShaunM]

Morning all,

Please don’t laugh at my question, I am sure it’s a silly one.

What software is OpenSprinkler written in? In the past I used something called WebIOPI which was python with a html interface. I would like to write some software to control a pool pump, and I would like to use the same software as OpenSprinkler.

Regards,
Shaun

The unified OpenSprinkler firmware is written in C++. It’s cross-compilable on Arduino platform as well as on Linux. We also have a couple of demo programs in the past that were written in Python (this is for Linux-platforms such as RPi).

If you don’t need to modify the firmware, and merely want to write a front end, you can use pretty much any programming language you want, as long as it can send HTTP get command.

Hi Ray,

Thanks for that info. So just to confirm. The software is written in C++ and you just use the HTTP to call the C++ procedures?
