Summary of the Circuit
This circuit consists of an Arduino UNO microcontroller board and a 2 Coil Latching Relay. The Arduino UNO is responsible for controlling the relay through one of its digital pins. The relay can be used to switch a separate circuit on or off without exposing the Arduino to the load of that circuit. The relay is powered by the 5V output from the Arduino and is controlled via a digital signal.
Component List
Arduino UNO
- Description: A microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P.
- Pins: UNUSED, IOREF, Reset, 3.3V, 5V, GND, Vin, A0-A5, SCL, SDA, AREF, D0-D13.
- Purpose: Acts as the central controller for the circuit, providing logic and control signals.
2 Coil Latching Relay
- Description: An electrically controlled switch that uses a small current to control a larger current.
- Pins: NC, VCC, GND, SIG.
- Purpose: Allows the Arduino to control high power devices, isolating the microcontroller from the high power circuit.
