Re: [AVR-Chat] microcontroller for irrigation unit

2013-09-24 by Reid

I was planning to get a opensprinkler from rayshobby. I am curious why change to raspberry Pi version? Is it better or what?

You may want to take a look at the OpenSprinkler project:

I'm currently using the AVR version to do my lawn/garden irrigation, but plan on upgrading to the Raspberry Pi version.
