    Opensprinkler boards Round 2 Q & A

    I think it might have had something to do with the wifi connection - you could see the activity LED on the Zero working - and on the Pi3 afterwards - but it didn't register on the network (static IP).  I also read somewhere that with older versions of rasbian the swop might not, just didn't...

    SD move didn't work :( And now it won't boot in the Pi3 either  :giggle: Going to setup from scratch - going to be fun as it'll be headless onto the Pi Z

    Opensprinkler boards Round 2 Q & A

    Out of the blue my missing Zero W arrived - will the existing Pi3 power supply work without blowing it? Then - any idea if a straight swap of the Micro-SD card will work?

    Opensprinkler boards Round 2 Q & A

    Thanks - what I want to do is setup a empty channel, e.g. Channel 6 - so when I put a timer on it, it kicks off the pump for x amounts of seconds.

    Opensprinkler boards Round 2 Q & A

    Post reminded me of a question - you can't run the Master channel on its own - would there be any issue with the hardware if you run a channel not connected to anything to get it to kick off the Master? I want to connect a tap to my irrigation system that I can run manually.

    What plans are other Capetonians making for Day 0 ?

    My parents are in Vermont - went through on Saturday - was cooking hot when we left Cape Town at 10am - as we crossed over the pass it was raining on that side. We went down to Milkwood at 6pm for a sundowner - everyone had to put on jackets it was so cold.

    What is the City of Cape Town doing with the money for water development?

    They probably bet on the common man not having the resources to take on the city.

    What is the City of Cape Town doing with the money for water development?

    From what I've read - the city is trying to pass bylaws that won't allow you to use anything other but municipal water in your "drinking water" supply. I'm going to look at a smaller system in Feb - to do the same at my property from well-point water - its a serious pain in the arse adhering to...

    This is why we're in the crap we're in in SA. "If you don't vote DA, you're voting for the ANC." (and vice-versa)

    samsung tv: insects in screen

    Interesting - I recall a previous problem with my first Samsung LCD where the screws were too tight causing backlight bleeding - the fix was to loosen the screws.

    Lost drivers licence.

    You can also get the eye test done independently - they give you form specific for the renewal. I don't want to touch the machines they use... all the people that pass through there everyday - and I also struggle to see through them :p

    NERSA proposed tax on Photo-Voltaic panel installations

    New business opportunity - camo for panels. They'll probably do the same in a year or two to all those people who put in wellpoints/boreholes - and registered them.  :giggle:
