gadgetboyParticipantNot yet resolved.
I agree – it shouldn’t be an issue with the firmware itself but that’s the only change that occurred in the configuration.
Looks like I’ll have to wipe it and start fresh in order to pinpoint the issue.
I have to do it soon since it’s going to start to get really hot here in Austin.
Any tips are appreciated.
gadgetboyParticipantApp Version: 1.6.0
Firmware: 2.1.7
Hardware: OSPi – AC
gadgetboyParticipantI was having the same issue.
Ultimately, I was able to install NOOBS on the SD card and used it to install Raspbian.
Once that was working, I built OSPi from source. (Search the forums.)
gadgetboyParticipantPerfect. Thanks, Ray!
gadgetboyParticipantI was configuring my OSPi today and came across this thread.
The RPi 3 MB is configured, the power on the OSPi board has been checked and I’ve assembled everything. I was going to swap out my current RainBird controller for my OSPi tomorrow, using the power supply I bought when I purchased my OSPi.
Should I use the RainBird power supply, instead? The output is rated at 25.5 VAC 1A.
If not, how should the RPi 3 MB be powered on its own if it already accepts power from the OSPi?
[Update: I found the answer buried in another thread. (https://opensprinkler.com/forums/topic/pi-3-wifi-degrades-when-zones-are-active/)]
I currently only run one zone at a time, so I’m going to connect it as configured and see how it works. If it becomes problematic, I’d rather switch to a Zero than attempting to remove the PTC fuse.
gadgetboyParticipantAs I said, the OpenSprinkler mention isn’t prominent enough, but it is there in the detailed product description.
Ray, what about adding some language in the OSS license about branding?
You could simply require that third-party commercial products include “Powered by OpenSprinkler”?
gadgetboyParticipantThey’ve since updated the listing to include a (small) mention of OpenSprinkler, but it’s not prominent enough, IMHO.
The least they could do is donate a portion of sales to support the cloud services.
Either way, I’m going to continue with my OSPi project.
Thanks, Ray.
