Testare modul cu 2 relee folosind Arduino

   Pe piata exista un modul cu 2 relee care se alimenteaza la 5V, pentru a fi folosit cu Arduino.
   Pentru a verifica rapid functionarea unui asemenea modul, avand la dispozitie decat o placa Arduino si niste fire Dupont, am facut un mic montaj:

iar ca sketch, am folosit ca baza pe cel numit "Blink" din exemplele programului Arduino IDE.
   Am facut un filmulet, numit test placa cu 2 relee in care apare un Arduino Mega, care este conectat la fel (D8 si D9).

   Schema de conectare este

iar sketch-ul folosit este:

// inputs for relays:
int pin1 = 7;  // D7 for relay 1
int pin2 = 8;  // D8 for relay 2

// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:
void setup() {                
  // initialize the digital pin as an output.
  pinMode(pin1, OUTPUT);     
  pinMode(pin2, OUTPUT);    
 digitalWrite(pin1, LOW);    // turn the relay 1 off by making the voltage LOW 
 digitalWrite(pin2, LOW);    // turn the relay 2 off by making the voltage LOW
}

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(pin1, HIGH);   // turn the relay 1 on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);               // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(pin1, LOW);    // turn the relay 1 off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);               // wait for a second

  digitalWrite(pin2, HIGH);   // turn the relay 2 on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);               // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(pin2, LOW);    // turn the relay 2 off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);               // wait for a second
}

   

O fotorezistenta si Arduino

   Fotorezistentele sunt componente pasive, care-si modifica valoarea (rezistenta) functie de intensitatea luminoasa (au rezistent amare la intuneric si mica la lumina puternica).
   In articolul Using a Photocell este prezentat un material foarte bun, din care m-am inspirat si eu.
   Dupa ce ma incercat primele 2 exemple de acolo, am modificat sketch-ul ca la un anumit prag de intuneric sa se cupleze un releu, iar la lumina foarte slaba (intuneric), inca unul.
   Circuitul de conectare al fotorezistentei, este foarte simplu, necesitand doar o rezistenta:

iar placa cu 2 relee are comanda la pinii D7, respectiv D8.

   Logica de comanda este inversata, adica daca pe pinul de comanda este 0 logic (LOW), releul este actionat si daca este 1 logic (HIGH) este neconectat, cum am prezentat mai de mult in articolul Placa cu 4 relee pentru Arduino (.. si nu numai).

   Montajul testat arata asa (mai contine si alte parti de circuit, nefolosite):

   Pe ecran am obtinut:

 

   Sketch-ul adaptat de mine este:

/* Photocell simple testing sketch.

   Am desenat si schema de conexiuni, pentru a nu aparea confuzii:
