Done.

Here is the fuse in question.

Are you referring to the test points for GND VIN and VCC right below the OpenSprinkler silk screen? If so, VIN is 4.37kΩ and VCC varies wildly but is above the number you seek.

edit: excuse the duplicate upload of fuse picture.

You’re right I don’t need those features. I have since updated to 2.1.5. Moving forward the firmware will be universal so any new added features or bug fixes I may want I’ll run into the same problems again.

I also installed avrdude onto Windows 7 just to make sure Windows 10 didn’t come into play.

Here’s a picture of the programmer, adapter and Opensprinkler.

Ray,

I’m just reporting to you what worked for me.  The driver definitely didn’t work when I used the one in libusb_0.12.1 for Windows 7 64-bit.  It pretty much is a fresh install with only Microsoft Office 2010, Chrome and Adobe Acrobat Reader installed.  Maybe some other people can get into the driver issue discussion that has it installed on a Windows 7 system.

Regarding the SD card issue, I’m happy to report I’m running v2.1 of the hardware so I won’t have to worry about removing the card for each firmware update.

@Samer: thanks for the updated information regarding manual IP address setting.  No offense Ray but the UI looked liked ass prior to Samer unifying browser and the mobile app.  🙂

Great job guys.

I tried editing my post above to remove the API key but for some reason the forum only allows me to edit the OP which I have the edited screenshot.  Please remove the attachment for the above post and look at the attachment in the OP.  I tried this in Chrome and IE with and without compatibility view.

I have a Nexus 7 (2013) and it is running the most recent developer release of Android L.  Hopefully this screenshot will show you what happens for me in the mobile app.

This is the first time I’ve updated my firmware.  I think I started with 2.05 or 2.06.  The issue I ran into was installing the driver as I’m running 2.1 hardware.  At first I attempted to install the driver (Windows 7 64-bit) with libusb_0.1.12.1 as indicated when you talked about Windows 8 installation.  This didn’t work so I thought I had to disable driver signature enforcement.  A quick google search and a reboot later and I tried to install the driver again.  Same result.  Then I uninstalled the driver and tried the other driver libusb_1.2.40 and it installed.  So I turned driver signature enforcement back on.

The point in this exercise is I don’t think driver signature enforcement is required for Windows 7 64-bit and it was never mentioned which driver should be installed.  Considering Windows 7 still holds the majority of OS share, I think it’s important directions should also cover Windows 7.  Your instructions seem to indicate Windows 7 and 8.x 64-bit should be lumped together.  Even if this was the case, the video instructions would indicate to install the first driver which did not work in my case.

A simple:  for Windows 7 users choose libusb_1.2.40 would have sufficed.  Even linking directly to the drivers from your webpage would be helpful rather than to the website where the drivers are located.  It doesn’t appear they update the drivers frequently as they are dated from 2011.

This is the first time I also added the uSD card with this major firmware update.  I think I read somewhere where it was advised to remove the uSD card before updating the firmware.  Is this a requirement?  I don’t want to have to remove the 4 screws unless I have to for future updates.

I also noticed that the static IP address didn’t keep when I restored my settings so I had to go in the advanced settings and turn off DHCP and manually set the IP and gateway again.  Has this been addressed in this firmware or is that by design?

Funny I had the opposite effect where I had no issues with my Android phone and I had multiple network timeout issues when trying to use the program from an iPad.

I think the only other problem I’ve had is that sometimes it wants the password even though I’ve checked ignore password. Submitting it again fixes the issue.

I was ready to write this long message about how I was having the same problem until I carefully inspected my PCB. For some reason, I didn’t solder the 8 pins in the staggered pattern for the RJ-45. A quick solder job and I was back in business with the lights on.
