Fig. 1: Authors’ prototype of Arduino motion sensor automation The relay functions as an intermediary switch, controlling connected devices based on commands from the Arduino. This configuration enables the system to turn on lights when a person enters a room and switch them off after a set per...
To test the code, just upload it to the ESP32 using the Arduino IDE. Then open the serial port to check the values of frequency an duty cycle changing. With the ESP32 connected to the buzzer, you should first ear a changing in the volume produced by the buzzer, caused by changing the...
a relay can be used to control circuits operating with the mains, which isdangerousif you don’t know what you are doing. Please stay safe anddon’t work with the mains if you don’t have experience with it.

This image might be helpful - in you can see the gate opener with the cover off, my controller (which at the time was a different Arduino replaced by an Uno) with 3D printed case. The connection point for the relay (in my case the first relay on a seperate 8 relay board also in ...
Please note that the board is no longer offered. It has not been offered for some time now. It's ISA and that and the computers that have ISA are out of date. I now offer an alternative through Jameco Electronics. One is called the Listening Tree and uses an Arduino UNO, a small, ...
Since the relay module is controlled through a digital output, we can connect it directly to the Raspberry Pi, if we want. That way, we don't need the Arduino board. (We wouldn't be able to test-run the application on the local machine either, though.) Checking whether GPIO is ...
Anybody play with this kind of thing? I want a flexible solution that I can extend to "National Lampoons Christmas Vacation" proportions, not a canned string of lights... The guy who did all the timed-to-song halloween house shows did his own PIC relay controller. Here's his we...
One interesting tidbit of trivia is that the functioning of original relay-based control systems—their programs, if you will—were captured and documented using a hand-drawn graphical technique called ladder logic. When PLCs became available, factory engineers and technicians were unfamiliar with thin...
The pinduino can be used to control a relay or transistor through one of the LED ports. The center channel can be set hi/low (rather than being used to send data to addressable LEDs). A common use case for doing this would be to turn on/off a shaker motor. Since shaker motors run...
