Hi Ray,
I was actually trying to understand the mapping of these wiring to my diy R-Pi. So I connected all the zone wires to the relay ports (3rd port on each relay module). From the pic on the post above, you can clearly see that 2 white wires going to one of the 24V ports and a red+white wire goes to the other 24V port. I took the 2 white wire and plugged in on the middle port of a relay module, wired the red+white to the C wire. Tried to fire off that port but didn’t work. How do I wire the power onto the relay module?

Got mine working last night. Apparently the documentation is lacking some details and should include the section below.
by default, IPV6 is disabled on Raspbian or the OS that OSPi uses.
see here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15886

The documentation should include this critical step (or maybe the update script should do it automatically):
Add IPV6 module to your OS by doing this: “sudo nano /etc/modules”, add “ipv6” at the end, reboot.
Restart OpenSprinkler (if it’s not started automatically): sudo /etc/init.d/OpenSprinkler.sh restart

That’s it.

Tim,
I’m having the exact same issue. Someone in my post pointed out that I need to configure IPV6 as 2.1.7 exclusively uses IPV6 but haven’t been able to configure IPV6 yet as it’s turned off by default. Let me know if you have luck figuring this out.

I just re-imaged my SD card using the SD card image.
In About section, I see the following info:

App: 1.7.1
Firmware: 2.1.4

I understand I need to be on a newer version before I can configure the GPIO ports but I don’t want to get to 2.1.7 yet. How do I update to 2.1.6?
I really could use some help.

Thanks.

barnaclewes,
Are you serious? I would never have thought of that.. Now I’m trying to lookup my IPV6 address but not able to find it. Does it need to be configured on the pi? I ran the command “ip -6 addr” and it returned nothing. ifconfig also doesn’t show any IPV6 info. Would appreciate some more details on the topic.

Thanks.

I got the program to work. Thanks for your help.

Hi Pete,
Thanks for the response. I have downloaded the firmware from this URL: http://www.raysfiles.com/ospi/ospi2.img.7z stated in this document (page 6): http://rayshobby.net/docs/ospi14_manual.pdf

it says “The latest version: OSPi SD Card Image 2 (with Unified Firmware, update 05/31/15) MD5SUM: edc2264a267d7330441855bafdb69dea”

When I go home, I can give you the exact firmware version. So if I am in the right version, OpenSprinkler is ready to be used with my setup? I was reading some of the threads today and came across one that suggested to use this plugin: https://github.com/KanyonKris/relay_board/wiki
Do I still need this plugin? Do I need to install the “Alternative Firmware: the sprinklers_pi Program” ? or the Unified Firmware is good?

Thanks again for helping me with this.

Can roydon or anybody share their secret to get this to work? Working on a similar setup and could use some help as some of these are foreign to me. I have loaded the sd card image with ospi and it’s up and running. Have a pi Model B and a 4 port relay. All connected and just need a way to enable/activate the GPIO pins from opensprinkler.

Thanks and much appreciated.

Just an update. I was able to locate an SD card image with OSPI installed. I have that up and running but how do I configure which ports(GPIO) have my relay and valves connected to? Would appreciate some help.
