MTaylor Introduction
The Beefcake Relay Control Kit is a way to switch loads that could not normally be driven with a microcontroller, such as AC lights, motors, batteries, solenoids, pumps, and more!
This hookup guide talks about safety, takes you through the assembly process of the Beefcake Relay Control kit and shows how to test it using the most basic Arduino sketch.
