    @frankie75: probably both are ok. The no-load voltage voltage is indeed a bit high (especially the 30.2VAC one you measured), but keep in mind that multimeters also vary in terms of accuracy. I’ve tested both Hunter and Rainbird transformers (which are probably the same model as you have), and they both work fine.

    I’m pretty comfortable with multi-meters….. I’m an hardware engineer at National Instruments…… I used a 6.5 digit one from my lab.
    Where can I find the schematic of the Ospi board

    Interesting – no I didn’t. I just trusted the 26.5VAC output it listed and ran with it.

    If you have a tester at home, would you mind measuring yours, in VAC mode, with the terminals disconnected from Ospi board?

    I picked this one up at my local Home Depot and it has been working just fine with OSPi and my valves.

    That is one of the two I have and measures 30.2 VAC with a tester in a no-load condition. Did you meausure yours?
