Hi all,
Please help this guy:( Remember the adage “Never trust a programmer with a soldering iron”.
As instructed I made rain sensor link with 12k pull up resistor and 5.5k current limiting resistor and connected it to 5v and GPIO14. I connected a NC rain sensor from Amazon. When I set weather sensor to “Rain” and “Normally closed” Open Sprinkler oscillates between “Rain detected” and “System idle” in approximately 10 second intervals.
For the rain sensor open circuit is 3.5V and connected is 0 volts at the sensor terminals.

I am using Open Sprinkler V1.2.1.8 (2), App 1.8.6, Hardware version OSPI
Raspberry Pi Revision 0002 – Model B Rev 1, Linux, raspbian V9 stretch

Can you tell me what I’ve done wrong please?
Do I need to upgrade OSPI?

Hi
I also have OpenSprinkler v 1.2 and want to add a rain sensor. I imagine I can can add a 10k pullup resistor and a 10k current limiting resistor connected to a free IO on the gpio should work if I then advise OSprinkler which pin to use. Is this correct and if so where are OSprinkler port listing?

Thanks Mick

Thank you, sorry for my noob confusions

Thank you for your rapid response and I apologise for my tardy reply.
I am using V1.0.7 © 2013 Richard Zimmerman.
The valve controls are offset by1 using manual and scheduled operation. TO map around this I have moved the links over by 1.
