Where does 8 channel relay come in handy? I’m just trying to understand relay part and where can you apply this in project? Where to? Can someone provide some scenerios?
@skiwithpeteАй бұрын
So a "relay" is just basically an electronically controlled switch. You know, like a light switch, but instead of controlling it with your finger you control it through electronics. So, basically anywhere you have a switch - like lights, or circuits, or devices - you can control it with this. Some examples? I control my furnace with a relay. Lots of home lights, and christmas lights. And check this video out: Garage Door: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmPEk41vZZKYi5I&ab_channel=skiwithpete

LCTRL key was not responding and I thought I needed to buy a new keyboard but I took a wire and bridged the pin from LCTRL all the way to F12 (had to look for it assuming it's different on every keyboard) and just like that it worked.

Just fried my Pi. dont ever connect the 5V on the relay board to your Pi. I now use the 5V and GND pin on the relay board to power my arduino, which is receiving serial commands from another Pi I have laying around. The downside is you gotta code twice - use AI to generate that 😅 It was my own fault, I should've tested the power pins on the relay board.

In order for the relay board to work for a Raspberry Pi 4 you must ensure the inputs are active HIGH. Most boards out there are active or trigger LOW. If you have a active LOW board you will need to place a Darlington sink drive ahead of the relay board inputs. Use something like a ULN2803. You will need two of them, cost about $1.25 each.
