Zones not working

[encathal]

I have the issue that the zones are not running on a schedule. The application shows them running but the relays don't activate. I have run some scripts to test the connections and the relays run. I have manually run a zone and the used a meter to test for signal and nothing. I keep wondering if something is up with the WiringPi. I am running this on a raspberry Pi 3 that has a 40 pin connector. I even found a layout that shows me how the wiringPi works with a 40 pin connector. Help please.

Richard.

Make sure you select direct negative mode if your relays trigger on ground. Also make sure you have them connected to the correct pins. Use the wiringpi pin numbers. The wiki has details.

Closer. So when I set it to direct negative all the relays trigger. But when I run a zone manually on or run a schedule nothing happens. The relays stayed trigger. When I change it to direct positive the same. Just and an FYI I am using a Sainsmart 16 relay board with a external power supply. I even disconnected the power supply during this and had the same results.

I got it working. Made the mistake of using voltage called on the relay and not of the Pi.
