Relay won't work

[hugo_pn]

Hi all,

I've been testing and twisting and soldering and soldering...

Finally after lots of soldering, got Ping Pong to work and attached a relay to try and turn on and off a light.

So for that I used a different site all together but got the light going on and off. The thing is It only works for 1 node :(

Passing over to PiDome, every thing seems to be fine, although the relay won't commute.

Each time I press the toggle button I see a Led flashing on the Arduino. I assume the serial GateWay is working.

The thing is the relay does not switch position.
This is what I get from the serial monitor. I'm surely no expert and very far from being one(I'm new to all this), but I think every thing is OK!!!

Just finished finding two different relay programs.

I'm using this one

But I found this one, witch is the best?

@hugo_pn try and check the following:

1. Try to power the relay directly (from vin or from the transformer). I had the same problem. The vcc just don't give out enough juice.
2. Check if your relay is 5v. Another member here ordered 5v and got 12v relay....

I had seen that mentioned

Thanks for your reply. I hope that's it. What about the serial monitor, does it seem ok?

I not positive, but I do think the relay is 5V, it worked with the other sketch I tested.

Once again thanks

Hi @hugo_pn ,

I have posted a reply on the PiDome forum. If it is a case of mapping the sensor id (CHILD_ID from the sketches) this will possibly solve it for you: http://forum.pidome.org/viewtopic.php?id=188
