Just one issue, as seen at @4:35 those black wire leads have too much insulation removed, either not in far enough or need trimming so that bare copper is not exposed.

Thank you so much. There are a ton of videos, when you search for pi relay, that cover the "connecting it to the pi and writing code to control it" angle, but this (after tons of searching) is the first one that actually covered the other side of things.

I saw about 5 videos on KZread about relays and understood nothing! But, this video helped me understand relays completely! It's so easy for me now! Thanks for all the info!

Everyone on KZread talked about "the signal". I kept thinking it was 5V+, which of course didn't work at all. THANK YOU for the minor detail about it being COMMON or GROUND! NOW MY CIRCUIT WORKS!!!! Thanks again. Now subscribed and I will be back.

Thank you, I was looking for information on how to connect the AC side of the relay, and you covered it perfectly.

Well done!! Excellent easy explanation, was looking forever for a simple explanation of using the SRD-05VDC-SL-C 1 relay module with a push button without arduino, was finally able to understand the input connection of the relay thanks to your explanation and video, thank you!!

I love the way you explained everything. The cameras were perfect. If you ever have time to do the same with your auto switch, that would be awesome.

Thanks for the video. I have an emylo relay, but I was afraid to hook up 120v to the small terminals. I'm good to go now. Thanks again!

Clear to understand. Great compared with many others.

Thank you! I’ve just found your Chanel and I’m ready to learn more from you.

@@bytesizedengineering Can I control load of max 15 amps under 12 volt DC as along as it maintains the same output power rating?? Example Say, 20 Amp, under 12 v dc, power 240 watt as against the rated 10 Amp X 24 v of same 240 watt, or 15 amp, 12 volt....!!??? I'm really confused with these power and current. Awaiting clear concept. Thanks.

Best explanation found so far. Any good reply would be appreciated for the following questions in regards to connections. For the load, or black wires, I presume the connections on the module for the current would enter on the NO, and feed the lamp through the COM. Or does it matter? So to properly connect the active magnet, I would presume COM would connect to DC-, while NO would go to IN on the module. I already connected 12V LED lights using relays and now trying to use this different type of relay for a closet light triggered by magnets. In the 12V schematics for LED strips, the NO on the module loops back to DC-, which becomes impossible with 120 volts. As for the exposed wires. If they would touch, then the module would be defeated and the lamp would stay on. The issue is that if they barely touch, arcing could happen and this is considered a very serious issue.

very detailed info, thasnks a lot! this is what i was searching

If you want to control the power of higher voltage equipment like servers and even lights I like using an Intelligent APC (7800 or 7900) PDU over a network with fence_apc installed on a Linux device. That's for anyone who might actually have a need for that. That way you can use your GPIO pins for things like sensors, etc, etc.

You shouldnt have so much of the bare copper sitting out of the relay, if they only slightly touch all current will flow through the small surface area making it heat up and most likely cause a fire, and the circuit breaker will not trip to prevent it

Awesome video Zach, thanks very much. I need to power a simple electromagnet with 12v and would like to use one of the GPIO pins on my Raspberry Pi to control the relay. Can I use one of the Pi's 3.3v GPIO pins? Also, do I need a diode to protect the microcontroller from voltage backfeed/backpower created by the collapsing magnetic field (when I turn it off)?

@bytesizedengineering

5 жыл бұрын

Calvin, you are right on track! You absolutely can use the pi for something like this. The relay module you see in this video has back emf voltage protection built in. It has a diode (like you mentioned) as well as an opto-coupler. There are a million tutorials online (adafruit, sparkfun, etc) on this topic. A quick google search should provide what you need. Good luck!

At 4:40; how does one wire the relay module (control side,) like I would with a 5 pin cube relay? I'm working on a car project and just want to shift the relay using a power and ground (like a cube relay pins 85/86.) Is that possible? And if it's not to complicated to explain, how do use the Power Select Jumper on the left side? Thanks in advance.

I have a power supply for the DC motor on my Sherline miniature lathe with a relay like this. I overloaded the motor the other day turning some difficult material, and it shut down the power supply. It happened a couple more times, before I could get finished with the piece, and now the motor doesn't run. I could hear a relay click when this happened, and thought it was a circuit breaker in the power supply. Now, I have it open, and can't find a circuit breaker. I do find a Songle SRD-05vdc-SL-C relay. It is obviously not clicking, as it should. I've read about relays with overload protection, but it doesn't appear this is such a relay. Could it still have functioned as an overload? And could it have died in my 'adventures'? Thanks, for any help. I know enough to get me in over my head, but not enough to dig myself out. GeoD
