Yep. that was the culprit. Misaligned a pin on the raspberry pi

thank you

Thank you Ray. I have not solved this yet. I also am thinking it has to be the ribbon as it powers on just fine so the other point of configuration or user error would be the ribbon. I will check the ribbon orientation and placement now.

I will let you know ASAP

Thank you Ray.

This is the site (http://x.x.x.x:8080) I am using for bench testing. To confirm I am using 1.8.3 firmware downloaded.
I set it to manual mode. I have the valve controller set to station 1 with the common wire wired into the appropriate posion
I turn on station 1 and nothing. The page refreshes correctly to what I saw in the arduino based system I have. I turn it off and nothing.

I have tried stations 1-4 so far with similiar results. I have logging turned on so I see that it is correctly identifying which stations during testing are cycled through manual mode.

I have also tried using multiple valves prior to bench testing.

My wager is I am missing something very minor but very important, right now I cannot see that particular tree in this forest

Thank you again

I shall run the experiment. Let me completely disconnect the expansion board.
interesting note. With it disconnected completely I am not having the valves open on boot.

Unfortunately the valves themselves are still not responding to input.

Closer

and thank you for the help
