Arduino Pro MICRO Pinout for 8 channel Relay

Porky6666

Hi,

ok i defined Relay 6,7,8 at A0,A1,A2, when i initial send a digitalwrite(high) or low within the sketch and uload that, it gone OK, but when want to change the states at runtime per radio, nothing changed but Relays 1 to 5 are ok.

example:

void setup()
{
pinMode(3, OUTPUT);
pinMode(4, OUTPUT);
pinMode(5, OUTPUT);
pinMode(6, OUTPUT);
pinMode(7, OUTPUT);
pinMode(18, OUTPUT);
pinMode(19, OUTPUT);
pinMode(20, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(3, HIGH);
digitalWrite(4, HIGH);
digitalWrite(5, HIGH);
digitalWrite(6, HIGH);
digitalWrite(7, HIGH);
digitalWrite(18, HIGH);
digitalWrite(19, HIGH);
digitalWrite(20, HIGH);

any idea ?

Bye Stefan

You will have to post your sketch code as well if we should be able to help you. Enclose it in ```` to get code formatting.

@Porky6666

That will ot work as you don't actually use the GPIO-defines you created at the top of your sketch.

I would probably have created an array with the pins you intend to use and loop over it when initializing and handling the commands from gateway.

E.g.

char[] pins = [3,4,5,6,7,18,19,20]; 
for (int i=0;i<pins.length;i++) {
     pinMode(pin[i], OUTPUT); 
     digitalWrite(pin[i], HIGH);
}

And likewise when receiving controller commands.

Hi,

this ist the orginal example from this site, and so it works vor 5 relays.

}
}

but not more.
On an Arduino Pro Mini
this sketch works for 6 Relays inkl. D8, i have changed to pro micro
an i used 2 different new ones same result, 5 Relays working -- externel power supply to the relays, arduino only needs to pull up or pull down.

thanks for your help

That sketch only works when the desired output pins are in numerical sequence. Once you need to use a variety of pin numbers in an arbitrary order, you will need to mange them differently.

Using an array as Hek suggested is no doubt your best option.

Hi,

Thats a fact i'd. Never known,
Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Here is the example of the code using an 8 delay board.
I used the Analog devices as much as possible because I intend to include 1-wire temp sensors as well.
On my (clone) Mini there are 8 analog pins but useable on the bread board because of the location. I will use them in the final perfboard.

  // Example sketch showing how to control physical relays. 
  // This example will remember relay state even after power failure.
  // Using an Array to define the pin's 

#include <MySensor.h>
#include <SPI.h>

const int RELAY[] = {A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, 6, 7, 8}; // I/O pins for the relays
#define NUMBER_OF_RELAYS 8 // Total number of attached relays
#define RELAY_ON 1  // GPIO value to write to turn on attached relay
#define RELAY_OFF 0 // GPIO value to write to turn off attached relay

MySensor gw;

void setup()  
{   
  // Initialize library and add callback for incoming messages
  gw.begin(incomingMessage, AUTO, true);
  // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
  gw.sendSketchInfo("Relay", "1.0");

  // Fetch relay status
  for (int sensor=1, pin=0; sensor<=NUMBER_OF_RELAYS;sensor++, pin++) {
    // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
    gw.present(sensor, S_LIGHT);
    // Then set relay pins in output mode
    pinMode(RELAY[pin], OUTPUT);   
    // Set relay to last known state (using eeprom storage) 
    digitalWrite(RELAY[pin], gw.loadState(sensor)?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF);
  }
}
    
void loop() 
{
  // Alway process incoming messages whenever possible
  gw.process();
}

void incomingMessage(const MyMessage &message) {
  // We only expect one type of message from controller. But we better check anyway.
   if (message.type==V_LIGHT) {
     // Change relay state
     digitalWrite(RELAY[message.sensor-1], message.getBool()?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF);
     // Store state in eeprom
     gw.saveState(message.sensor, message.getBool());
     // Write some debug info
     Serial.print("Incoming change for sensor:");
     Serial.print(message.sensor);
     Serial.print(", New status: ");
     Serial.println(message.getBool());
   } 
}

@sjoerd14 said:

1-wire temp sensors as well.

I learned the other day that you can use the "Analog" I/O for one-wire anyway? just treat them as they were digital!

Great thx a lot -- is working fine your example.

Hi, I'm trying to create an array of binary switches based on the 8Ch relay script, but I'm having issues setting it up. I don't have much knowledge in array and I was wondering if anyone here could guide me.

// Simple binary switch example 
// Connect button or door/window reed switch between 
// digitial I/O pin 3 (BUTTON_PIN below) and GND.

#include <MySensor.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Bounce2.h>

const int BUTTON[] = {3, 4, 5};
#define NUMBER_OF_BUTTONS 3
//#define CHILD_ID 3
//#define BUTTON_PIN  3  // Arduino Digital I/O pin for button/reed switch

MySensor gw;
Bounce debouncer = Bounce(); 
int oldValue=-1;

// Change to V_LIGHT if you use S_LIGHT in presentation below
MyMessage msg(V_TRIPPED);

void setup()  
{  
  gw.begin();
// Fetch relay status
  for (int sensor=1, pin=0; sensor<=NUMBER_OF_BUTTONS;sensor++, pin++) {
    
 // Setup the button
  pinMode(BUTTON[pin],INPUT);
  // Activate internal pull-up
  digitalWrite(BUTTON[pin],HIGH);
  
  // After setting up the button, setup debouncer
  debouncer.attach(BUTTON[pin]);
  debouncer.interval(5);
  
  // Register binary input sensor to gw (they will be created as child devices)
  // You can use S_DOOR, S_MOTION or S_LIGHT here depending on your usage. 
  // If S_LIGHT is used, remember to update variable type you send in. See "msg" above.
  gw.present(sensor, S_DOOR);  
  

}

//  Check if digital input has changed and send in new value
void loop() 
{
  debouncer.update();
  // Get the update value
  int value = debouncer.read();
 
  if (value != oldValue) {
     // Send in the new value
     gw.send(msg.set(value==HIGH ? 1 : 0));
     oldValue = value;
  }
}

In addition to my message above, I'm getting a bunch of errors when I try to compile the above binary sketch. Hope to hear from some one.
