Hey Guys,

So I downloaded the ospi2 preconfigured Pi image from Ray’s and re flashed my SD. I updated OSPi as per the instructions in Dan’s post on the wiki, all went OK.

Using Samers android app I was able to connect. I noticed there is now a button in the station options page which allows you to select to “Use Master” for a particular station. Either this wasn’t visible for me before, or I just plum didn’t see it. Once I flagged the station to use the master.. it actually outputs the required voltage. Then toggling that station turns on the master as well.. double checked the voltage and it looks right.

Now that I’ve reflashed though, the software from the image comes with manual mode enabled. Samers android app isn’t allowing me to disable this. I hit the toggle to switch it off and it just goes straight back to ON. I’m def connected to the site with the default password “opendoor” and this hasn’t been changed.

@Dan – All good re how to update. I see your post on the how-to’s.

@Ray – Thanks for the lead on Pump Start Relays.

I’ll give an update once I’ve fixed / found the problem.

I’m def sure I was using AC on the multimeter. It could be something to do with the AC/DV converter… I’ll debug it some more when I’m functional again.

I wasn’t even aware that a pump start relay existed. I’m in Australia and apparently industry standard for SSR’s in Aus only start at AC86V. Thanks for the info.

Dan, awesome. I thought I would ref flash my SD for the Pi with the latest version of everything. So i’ll hang out until you release this latest version. How do I go about obtaining the new version you are releasing?

Hey Dan,

I don’t think its the circuits (i.e. the zones). I’ve tried changing the master to be any other zone as well.. none of them output the required voltage when set to master in order open the valve.

I’m thinking it must be something to do with the board.. I haven’t modified anything and it works fine in manual / program modes. Just master zones not working correctly. It doesn’t make any sense..

I’m going to try and reload the software, new version is out than what I have on the SD card of the Pi.

Have ideas of other things I could try..? i.e. to test if it is the board.
