1 x 1n4001 diode.
Arduino transistor relay control.
The following circuit shows how to control a relay with your arduino or esp8266 microcontroller.
Arduino board jumper wires breadboard.
2 x 220ω resistors.
1 x tip120 darlington transistor is recommended but any one that will handle your relay will work.
A relay accomplishes this by using the 5v outputted from an arduino pin to energize the electromagnet which in turn closes an internal physical switch to.
Therefore we use the 5v supply voltage for the coil and use a npn transistor to turn on and off the low power electrical circuit.
Below given is relay driver circuit to build your own relay module.
The base of the transistor is connected to digital pin 9 of the arduino through a 1 kilohm resistor.
The detail instruction code wiring diagram video tutorial line by line code explanation are provided to help you quickly get started with arduino.
The arduino can only provide 40ma at 5v on its digital pins.
The optocoupler is the most important part it isolates the circuit from the relay using.
In this quick arduino tutorial i will explain how you can control a relay using the arduino board one 1k and one 10k resistors 1 bc547 transistor one 6v or 12v relay one 1n4007 diode and a 12v fan.
The picture above shows the circuit you need to build.
The npn transistor is controlled by a digital i o pin of the arduino microcontroller.
Circuit diagram and working.
If the transistor base terminal is 0 low then fan turns off for delay and other you can set with help of arduino ide and arduino uno.
A relay basically allows a relatively low voltage to easily control higher power circuits.
The basic transistor switching with arduino for arduino digital 7th pin is output if the arduino send logic 1 high the mini cooling fan turns on.
In this example when a pushbutton connected to digital pin 2 is pressed the arduino will control a transistor via pulse width modulation pwm which will ramp up the motor s speed then slow it back down.
The parts you will need.
The third leg is connected to ground.
An ac bulb is used for demonstration.
The second leg connected to analog in 0 of the arduino.
When the button is pressed the fan will turn on and will remain in this state until the button is pressed again.
In this arduino relay control circuit we have used arduino to control the relay via a bc547 transistor.
First leg of the potentiometer is connected to 5 volts.
We have connected transistor base to arduino pin a0 through a 1k resistor.
You can use a 5v relay to switch the 120 240v current and use the arduino to control the relay.
