/ irrigation extension board for the Raspberry Pi. It’s an easy and low-cost solution to transform your Raspberry Pi into a capable sprinkler controller with an unlimited number of stations, for lawn and plant watering, farm irrigation and other similar applications.
Warning: if the LED doesn’t light up, or any component starts to smoke, or you smell anything burnt, please unplug the power immediately. If you can’t figure out the problem, contact the support at support.opensprinkler.com...
2. Attach RPi to OSPi Make sure power has been removed from the OSPi circuit board. Next, OSPi has three support pillars (positions marked in the image on the left below) that match the screw holes on RPi (for RPi 0, use screw hole 1; for other RPi's, use screw holes 2 and 3).
4. Wiring Sprinkler Valves To connect one sprinkler valve, insert one wire to the COM (common) terminal, and the other wire to any of the station terminals (1-8). The COM terminal has two ports – they are internally connected so either port is fine. To connect multiple valves, one wire from each valve should come together and go to the COM terminal;...
2. Using OSPi Firmware The default firmware set to run on start-up is the OpenSprinkler Unified Firmware. It’s available at port 8080. Open a browser, and type in http://ospi_ip:8080/ to start using the firmware, where ospi_ip is your OSPi's local IP address. Details about the OpenSprinkler Unified Firmware can be found in the OpenSprinkler Firmware User Manual:...
