Operating Temperature: -20C to 80C (-4F to 176F)
Dimensions: 50mm x 30mm x 20mm (1.97in x 1.18in x 0.79in)Usage Examples### Example 1: Basic Power Control using ArduinoThis example demonstrates how to use the 3D Printer Power Controller Module to control the power supply to the heated bed using an Arduino microcontroller.```c++
const int relayPin = 2; // Pin connected to the relay signal pinvoid setup() {
pinMode(relayPin, OUTPUT);
}void loop() {
// Turn on the heated bed power
digitalWrite(relayPin, HIGH);
delay(5000); // Wait for 5 seconds// Turn off the heated bed power
digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW);
delay(5000); // Wait for 5 seconds
}
```In this example, the relay signal pin is connected to digital pin 2 of the Arduino board. The `digitalWrite` function is used to set the relay pin to HIGH (turning on the heated bed power) and LOW (turning off the heated bed power).### Example 2: Power Control using Raspberry Pi and PythonThis example demonstrates how to use the 3D Printer Power Controller Module to control the power supply to the heated bed using a Raspberry Pi and Python.```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import timeGPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
relay_pin = 17
GPIO.setup(relay_pin, GPIO.OUT)try:
while True:
# Turn on the heated bed power
GPIO.output(relay_pin, GPIO.HIGH)
print("Heated bed power on")
time.sleep(5)# Turn off the heated bed power
GPIO.output(relay_pin, GPIO.LOW)
print("Heated bed power off")
time.sleep(5)except KeyboardInterrupt:
GPIO.cleanup()
```In this example, the relay signal pin is connected to GPIO pin 17 of the Raspberry Pi. The `RPi.GPIO` library is used to set the GPIO pin to HIGH (turning on the heated bed power) and LOW (turning off the heated bed power) using the `GPIO.output` function.Note: Make sure to adjust the output current and thermal protection settings according to your specific 3D printer's heated bed requirements. Additionally, ensure that the power supply voltage and current ratings match the module's specifications.
