    Wanted to build myself another relay node. But when finished - the relay didn't work... Looking at the board discovered that relay is an SRD-12VDC so 12V are required as switching voltage.
    Mysensord node is powered from a 12V source through a 7805 voltage regulator so i have 12V available for the relay so was happy for a short period of time as usually you can remove the jumper and power the relay board. But this time a hit a wall as the connectors are totally different and information from the internet is scarse.

    So here is the relay board

    So i wonder how can i wire it considering i have a 12V supply? On the other side of relay won't be any high voltage (dry contacts) just need to make it work

      @moskovskiy82 the picture looks like a 5v relay. Unless the ground on the power supply is the same as the common on the load side
      you'll want to remove the jumper.

        Took the picture from the internet. I have the same but it's SRD-12VDC instead of SRD-05VDC.

        Well i do want to remove the jumper but wire it to arduio and use a 12V supply to power the coil.
        Will something like this work without frying everything?
        Jumper removed
        VCC - +12V supply
        GND - Arduino GND (powered from 12V supply via 7805)
        IN - Arduino digital pin

          Assuming the "in" pin is ttl on your relay as well, then yes. You'll want a 5v arduino, or a level shifter. Some ttl will work with 3.3v logic, but it is outside my knowlege what the long term effect is.

            Well took the plunge.

            VCC 12V
            GND - GND as shared on 7805 with arduino
            IN - Digital pin of arduino to control. Works for now...
