Old thread but I just finally moved from the Python version to the C++ version.

I didn’t really want to go through the effort to reinstall an new Raspbian so I just changed the etherport.cpp file to use IPv4 and that seems to be working just fine.

I searched the rest of the code and there isn’t really anywhere where v6 is needed and I feel better not using ipv6 at this time.

Note that I don’t allow my opensprinkler to access the internet (I did to get the position setup but it’s locked down again). I don’t know if that matters to others.

I will do a PR back to the repo once I figure out what’s up with logging and the nvm.dat file locations. (i.e. I run OpenSprinkler from /usr/local/bin, I would have thought that the nvm.dat would live in /etc/OpenSprinkler and the logs in /var/log but they don’t).

Part 3

I had a spare Pi (doesn’t everyone?) 🙂

I powered up without the extender and everything seems ok with the 2nd Pi.

Then I added the extender with no stations and still OK, finally I added each station one at a time and the device didn’t crash.

No idea why my first Pi decided to fail, it was a very early model and I have another one on order just to have a spare.

Hmmm, I decided to see if the Pi was ok (standalone) and it won’t boot at all. The diode (D17) on the bottom gets hot to touch, very hot to touch.

I think I have another Pi lying around that I’ll try while I try to figure out if something could have blown the Pi.
