    Help with solid state relay switch!!

    I had a 12v lamp which was in series after the multimeter in current mode which was to the negative output of the relay. I think thats how it was supposed to be? I had to have my multimeter on 10A mode because the milliamp mode is broken on mine (think I short circuited and blew the fuse :P)

    Help with solid state relay switch!!

    I tested the circuit again off the board. I did not measure any current at all when the relay want active, however I still measured a voltage over the inputs of 4v, when the relay wasnt active. When it was active, my output was only 8v from a 12v source. I assume my relay is dead? Cheers!

    Help with solid state relay switch!!

    I removed the ssr and measured 308 ohms between the output connectors when ssr is not active, and 307 ohms when it is. That is with negative lead going to positive terminal and positive lead going to negative terminal. The other way around I got 554ohms unactive and 492ohms active. When I do...

    Help with solid state relay switch!!

    The led is built into the switch, which is this model: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/331656498840?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT The relay is this model: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/301828189006?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Basically, as...

    Help with solid state relay switch!!

    I have a slight diagram at the end of this post: http://tombrereton.com/diy-electric-skateboard-part-2-electronics/ Battery + to + output on ssr and + input. - ssr to load and switch led +. - battery to - switch and load. It was working until I used the board for a few minutes. When I push the...

    Help with solid state relay switch!!

    Hey guys, so I purchased a 100A solid state relay to use with a spdt switch to turn my board on and off. After connecting it, there is a voltage difference (4v) over the relay when off and my switch illuminates. When I turn it on, this voltage difference is subtracted from my actual voltage so...

    Wiiciever on Arduino nano - Mods

    Fixed my issue! I forgot that I had turned on low voltage cut off on my ESC. I quickly hooked up a rpi to log the serial output of the arduino, and found that the code worked perfectly, however the voltage dropped to around 17v. I had the low voltage cut off turned on at 18v. So i changed the...

    Wiiciever on Arduino nano - Mods

    Hey guys, So I am working on getting a wireless nunchuck working with an arduino nano for my eboard setup. I am using AustinDavid's wiiceiver code and modifying it so I can also include a voltage indicator. Here is a diagram of my wiring: Using a voltage divider circuit I am measuring my...

    Are these pulleys/belt suitable?

    Hi! I am looking to build my first electric longboard but am just wanting a hand with pulleys and belts. I am currently looking at these as they are the easiest for me to get: small pulley: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/301743507712 large pulley: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/331674283711 belt...
