The following arduino program completes the post.
Arduino relay transistor diode.
The design of the circuit is described here.
Circuit diagram and working.
1 x 1n4001 diode.
The coil of the relay needs a large current around 150ma to drive the relay which an arduino cannot provide.
2 x 220ω resistors.
B sc engineer in electrical and electronic engineering.
The coil of the relay needs a large current around 150ma to drive the relay which an arduino cannot provide.
In this project the npn transistor 2n2222 drives the relay when the npn junction gets saturated.
An ac bulb is used for demonstration.
Therefore we need a device to amplify the current.
Arduino board jumper wires breadboard.
1 x sharp pc817 optocoupler.
In this project the npn transistor 2n2222 drives the relay when the npn junction gets saturated.
We have connected transistor base to arduino pin a0 through a 1k resistor.
Just a simple circuit that contains our transistor diode resistor and of course the relay.
The parts you will need.
Transistor acts as a switch to control the 12v to relay coil.
The project is used to demonstrate the high voltage driving capabilities of a relay using arduino uno.
In this arduino relay control circuit we have used arduino to control the relay via a bc547 transistor.
Arduino tricks is the online education platform which teaches students every day that too completely free of cost.
Connections to the household appliance are not shown.
The base terminal of the 2n2222 transistor is connected to any of the digital i o pin of the arduino through a 1kω current limiting diode in this project base is connected to pin 7 of arduino.
Diode acts as a protection for transistor against back emf induced through relay coil during transit conditions.
Below given is relay driver circuit to build your own relay module.
1 x tip120 darlington transistor is recommended but any one that will handle your relay will work.
The following picture depicts how to connect the different parts using a solderless breadboard jumper wires a transistor a diode a relay a push button and two 10k resistors.
Resistor adjusts input current from arduino to the transistor.
