Apr 28, 2014 · OpenSprinkler (Arduino-based) This is the story of how learning Arduino inspired me to invent the OpenSprinkler — an open-source, web-based sprinkler controller. I’ve had a passion for making electronic circuits since I was a kid, spending hours looking at schematics and building simple circuits like a single-transistor radio, an electronic cricket, …The marking may differ somehow depending on the manufacturer, but in general the marking is not the full part number because there is not enough space to put the entire part number. Many rectifier diodes are interchangeable. For example, D1 on OSPi is a standard rectifier with a minimum of 100V reverse voltage stand. Keymaster. 1. yes, it should work with OpenSprinkler. The output of this soil clik sensor is a relay which is a dry contact type. 2. no, this soil sensor is not a dry contact type, it requires an additional microcontroller to ‘interpret’ the result of the soil moisture value. It cannot be used directly with OpenSprinkler.

February 7, 2018 at 6:33 pm #48848.This boosting time turns out to be around 80 to 100ms. Second, OSBee by default uses 100ms pulse in both directions (i.e. both opening and closing the valve). This is very easy to change to 250ms and 62ms respectively to match the Gardena controller. The last issue deserves more thinking, that is, opening the valve requires 9V, but closing the ...I think it would be extremely powerful to get alert via email for example when the flow sensor reads flow when no valves are on. In addition, I think it would be nice to get alerts when there is a 0 flow reading when the valves are on meaning the source water is not flowing (i.e. was mistakenly turned off).

OpenSprinkler Pi (OSPi) is an open-source sprinkler / irrigation extension board for Raspberry Pi (RPi). It is based on the design of OpenSprinkler, but its ‘brain’ is an RPi instead of an AVR microcontroller. The idea of OSPi first came when I noticed that many users were setting up RPi to work with OpenSprinkler. The time is calculated using two pieces of information: the NTP time (which is UTC+0 time) and the time zone (this is obtained from the opensprinkler weather server, which calculates your time zone using your location). If you export your configurations to a .json file, and open the file, there is a variable called “tz”, which is the time zone. OpenSprinkler is designed to be easy to install and use, and is compatible with a wide range of sprinkler valve systems. Ray: tell me more about opensprinkler.
