I've got one more problem - I don't know what wires go to what pin on the relay. I can't find a diagram that clearly labels what pin does what. Can you help direct me? Thanks, Jeff --- Quote from: BobA on July 29, 2007, 06:37:41 pm ---Ok it has a coil so the proper location of the diode is shown in circuit diagram in the thread below you will be connecting to 5V to activate not 12 as shown in the diagram but the diode is still placed with cathode (band) to +5v and anode to ground for transient supression.

If this is a pic of your relay the info on where to connect is marked on the top of the relay. If it is not the relay can you provide a pic of it and a part number and manufacturer so the circuit diagram can be located. |

if "2 FORM C" is a standard format, then: A. coil B. other end of coil 1. switch A common 4. switch A normally open connection 7. switch A normally closed connection 3. switch B common 6. switch B normally open connection 9. switch B normally closed connection Edit: here is an example schematic. (the pi shaped marks are supposed to be the head switches.) The +5V is switched, of course - I forgot to draw a switch in the picture. The green X-arcade terminal block image is from http://www.x-arcade.com/service/ServiceFiles/BYO_Advanced_Inst.jpg. The schematic of the relay is from some other relay .pdf. You'll may still want to add the diode across the coil like in Boba's link - I forgot to draw it in here. |

I love whammoeds products!! I purchased his Lightmite TB and it works beautifully!! If you have the money to spare and would like a nice product contact him. /edit haha. I didnt understand what icbajeff was wiring up I thought he was trying to build a 'smart strip' type device from the drawing he had above. but my question is then why are there 3 threads about the same thing..
