Pin Configuration

  • 6V Relay Cube Documentation
  • The 6V Relay Cube is a compact and versatile IoT component designed to control high-power devices using a low-voltage signal. This documentation provides a detailed explanation of the Relay Cube's pins and their connections.
  • Pinout Description:
  • The 6V Relay Cube has 6 pins, labeled as follows:
  • Pin 1: VCC (Power Supply)
  • --------------------------------
  • Function: Power supply for the relay module
  • Voltage: 6V DC
  • Description: Connect a stable 6V DC power source to this pin to power the relay module.
  • Pin 2: GND (Ground)
  • -------------------------
  • Function: Ground connection for the relay module
  • Description: Connect the ground wire of your power supply or circuit to this pin.
  • Pin 3: IN (Input)
  • -----------------------
  • Function: Input signal to control the relay
  • Voltage: 3.3V or 5V DC (logic level)
  • Description: Connect a digital output from a microcontroller or other control device to this pin to control the relay. A high signal (3.3V or 5V) will activate the relay, while a low signal (0V) will deactivate it.
  • Pin 4: NO (Normally Open)
  • -----------------------------
  • Function: Normally open contact of the relay
  • Description: Connect the device you want to control to this pin. When the relay is activated, this pin will connect to the COM pin.
  • Pin 5: COM (Common)
  • -----------------------
  • Function: Common contact of the relay
  • Description: Connect the power source of the device you want to control to this pin.
  • Pin 6: NC (Normally Closed)
  • ------------------------------
  • Function: Normally closed contact of the relay
  • Description: Connect the device you want to control to this pin. When the relay is deactivated, this pin will connect to the COM pin.
  • Connection Structure:
  • To connect the 6V Relay Cube:
  • 1. Connect VCC (Pin 1) to a stable 6V DC power source.
  • 2. Connect GND (Pin 2) to the ground wire of your power supply or circuit.
  • 3. Connect IN (Pin 3) to a digital output from a microcontroller or other control device.
  • 4. Connect the device you want to control to NO (Pin 4) and COM (Pin 5) for normally open operation.
  • 5. Connect the device you want to control to NC (Pin 6) and COM (Pin 5) for normally closed operation.
  • Important Notes:
  • Ensure the power supply voltage does not exceed 6V DC to prevent damage to the relay module.
  • Use a suitable relay module for your specific application, considering factors such as the maximum current and voltage rating.
  • Make sure to isolate the relay module from high-voltage circuits to prevent electrical shock or damage.
  • By following these guidelines, you can safely and effectively utilize the 6V Relay Cube in your IoT projects.

Code Examples
### Example 1: Basic Relay Control with Arduino
This example demonstrates how to use the 6V Relay Cube to control a light bulb using an Arduino Uno board.
```c++
const int relayPin = 2;  // Choose a digital pin on the Arduino
void setup() {
  pinMode(relayPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW);  // Turn the relay on (connects COM to NO)
  delay(1000);  // Wait 1 second
  digitalWrite(relayPin, HIGH);  // Turn the relay off (connects COM to NC)
  delay(1000);  // Wait 1 second
}
```
### Example 2: Using the Relay Cube with Raspberry Pi and Python
This example shows how to control the relay using a Raspberry Pi and Python.
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
relay_pin = 17  # Choose a GPIO pin on the Raspberry Pi
GPIO.setup(relay_pin, GPIO.OUT)
try:
    while True:
        GPIO.output(relay_pin, GPIO.LOW)  # Turn the relay on
        time.sleep(1)
        GPIO.output(relay_pin, GPIO.HIGH)  # Turn the relay off
        time.sleep(1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    GPIO.cleanup()
```
### Example 3: Controlling a Fan with ESP32 and MicroPython
This example demonstrates how to use the 6V Relay Cube to control a fan using an ESP32 board and MicroPython.
```python
import machine
import time
relay_pin = machine.Pin(18, machine.Pin.OUT)  # Choose a digital pin on the ESP32
while True:
    relay_pin.value(0)  # Turn the relay on
    time.sleep(5)
    relay_pin.value(1)  # Turn the relay off
    time.sleep(5)
```
Troubleshooting Tips
Ensure the relay module is properly powered (6V) and grounded.
 Verify the input signal (IN) is correctly connected to the microcontroller or development board.
 Use a voltmeter to check the voltage across the relay terminals to ensure proper operation.
 Avoid overloading the relay with high-current devices, as this can damage the module.
