Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

For anyone who has built the Watering System Controller (https://geoffg.net/retic.html).  I have a new version of the firmware (V1.5).  This includes:

- Written to suit Ver 6.00.01 of the WebMite firmware for the Raspberry Pi Pico. This firmware has eliminated the random reboots that the previous firmware suffered from.

- On the General Settings page you can configure logging of events from nothing to detailed debugging information.

- To ensure that the protocol stacks are reset the firmware will do a controlled reboot every day at a random time from midnight to 50 minutes after midnight. During this restart the weather forecast for the next 24 hours is loaded and is displayed on the home web page. As a consequence the firmware will not allow a schedule to be configured to start before 1AM.

- Numerous small changes to the content of the log file and the web pages to generally improve the experience.

Version 1.5 can be downloaded from the bottom of this page: https://geoffg.net/retic.html
