Can you provide some details about your setup? For example, what type of AC transformer do you have? Are you using a WiFi dongle or wired Ethernet connection? Have you set up a sprinkler program and if so does it open multiple valves at the same time?

Thanks for your quick reply. I had it running of separate power all night and did not see it disconnect from the switch. I have now swapped the power back to the sprinkler board supplying it and I will monitor today and see if it does drop.

I purchased the kit and the power supply from your Australian reseller, OpenLab. It looked like the transformer was suggested on their site. http://openlab.com.au/shop/24-volt-ac-mains-adapter/

I am using wired ethernet and am using the mobile default application (ip/sprinklers) and previously I had no more than 2 valves open at once for testing, but in day to day usage I can’t use more than 1 at a time as the water pump can’t handle two runs on at once. The first day I had it running, it could open two valves at once with no issues that I could see. The raspberrypi is rebooting even while no valves are open.

I believe the constant random rebootings have corrupted something to do with the program, so I will reinstall your supplied sd image today and test further for stability.

I believe I might be having similar issues.

I received the OSPI v 1.2 board a few days ago and was running perfectly for a day and a half, since then every few minutes it seems the OSPi is rebooting as I can see it connecting / disconnecting constantly on my switch. The power supply has now been swapped (removed the power connectors from the sprinker board and replaced it with the usb power). It has only been an hour or so now, but it hasn’t dropped out since.

Is there any test I can do (apart from trial and error) to find out that it is 100% the sprinkler board playing up?

Also I don’t believe I received the screws / board lifters in my kit originally.
