Hi Guys,
Phew what a fun night this was. But got my setup going and almost perfect.
I just have 2 issues . One minor I can work around but would like to know how to fix it and the other more of an issue...
General Info:
- Raspberry Pi 1 B+
- Arduino Relay Board 16Ch power with a separate 12V 3A PSU
- Latest Software Installed (OS Raspbian and SIP latest version: 3.2.40)
- Relay Board Plugin installed and enabled
1. Master not switching off in Manual mode:
I have Master Pump setup on station 1. When running a program, the master switches off after the last station configured completes. However, when running manual mode, if I switch on a station configured to use master, it switches on the master, but when switching off the station manually (No stations active), the master does not switch OFF. This is a big problem for me as master is my borehole pump and with all stations closed and the pump running things could get nasty.
2. Only first 8 Channels switches.
This one is weird... All 16 relays on the board works. if I connect the Pi GPIO's to Relay 8 - 16 on my board they work. if I connect them to relay 1-8 they work. But, whatever i connect to channel 9 - 12 does not switch. This is true for Program, run once as well as manual modes. The strange thing is... If I set station 9 to 12 to activate master, then the master relay is activated when the program reaches those stations, but relays 9 - 12 is not activated.
I have attached screenshots of my setup as it is now..
Thank you again for a great product. Holding thumbs that its something stupid I did and that this can be sorted easily... I am just out of options. I have tried everything - Including rewiring the boards twice but cannot seem to get relays greater than 8 to work.
