Basics

The most important thing in brief:

1. Development of the OpenSprinkler firmware (OpenSprinkler 3.x ESP8266 or OSPi)

Install the free version of “Microsoft Code” and the plugin “platform.io” (for OpenSprinkler 3.x) or “Remote SSH” (for OSPi).

Check out the software, either locally (for OpenSprinker 3.x) or connect to the OSPi via a remote plugin and check out the software there. There are two options: a) the original software from https://github.com/OpenSprinkler/OpenSprinkler-Firmware or b) the extended software of https://github.com/opensprinklershop/OpenSprinkler-Firmware

To upload to OpenSprinkler 3.x, use the USB programming adapter. You can plug this directly into the CPU board of the OpenSprinkler 3.x and send it via

2. Development of the APP or the web UI:

Install the free version of “Microsoft Code” and check out the software. There are two options: a) the original software from https://github.com/OpenSprinkler/OpenSprinkler-App or b) the extended software of https://github.com/OpenSprinklerShop/OpenSprinkler-App

To start the UI it is enough to open the index.html in the browser.

3. Development at the weather service

A web server is required for this. Here too you can choose between two versions:

a) The original software from https://github.com/OpenSprinkler/OpenSprinkler-Weather or b) https://github.com/OpenSprinklerShop/OpenSprinkler-Weather

Here it is better to follow the instructions in README.md or the documentation in the Docs directory

Important note when using the USB programming adapter: Never connect the USB adapter AND a power supply to the OpenSprinkler, as this can damage your PC! The power from the power supply could flow into your PC via the USB interface and damage the interface!

The OpenSprinkler is powered via USB.
