seeed-studio-relay-board | Python library for the Seeed Studio Relay Board

seeed-studio-relay-board is a Python library typically used in Internet of Things (IoT), Raspberry Pi applications. seeed-studio-relay-board has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. However seeed-studio-relay-board build file is not available. You can download it from GitHub.

Note: I created an updated (but not tested), version of the library at Seeed Studio Relay V2; this version supports multiple relay boards. I had an idea for a project, a Raspberry Pi-based power controller for my media center. I searched around for relay boards, and discovered the Seeed Studio Raspberry Pi Relay Board v1.0, so I thought I'd give it a try. Note: At the time, this was the only directly-mountable relay board I could find for the Raspberry Pi. Since then, I found another one in the ModMyPi PiOT Relay Board. I'll play with that one soon and publish my findings on wwwjohnwargo.com; stay tuned. When I finally got around to playing with the hardware, I used (or should I say tried to use) Seeed Studio's Wiki Page for the board to guide my efforts. Unfortunately, I quickly learned that the article was incomplete and didn't have everything I needed to work with the board. I mounted the board on my Raspberry Pi, powered it up, ran their sample test application, and got nowhere. It didn't work. I sent Seeed Studios an email asking for help and posted a couple of questions on their community forums, but had to wait more than a month to get a response. After another week of sending them screen shots, I finally got useful information and was able to get the board operational. The purpose of this Github repository is to share with you the code Seeed provides to test the board (so that you can grab it using git rather than copying and pasting it from a Wiki page) plus a Python module (and associated test application) you can leverage to use the relay board on the Raspberry Pi. the rest of the information, such as how to mount the board, set the switches, troubleshoot the board, and more, I'll publish in an article on www.johnwargo.com describing everything. Here's the article: Using the Seeed Studio Raspberry Pi Relay Board.
