For quite a few of the Ellentriek#11 projects, participants wanted to connect Arduino to the main current system: 220 Volt.
\nAs this can be tricky, it’s good to look for solid solutions.
\nI have found a relay set-up which is safe to use with 220 volt and arduino (yeay!).<\/p>\n
This is the little board: There is a tutorial on how to build it: I buy all my Sparkfun stuff here<\/a>, which makes sure that you avoid the international shipping costs and the US taxes.<\/p>\n

\nand you need of course to add all the components. The transistor and diode are essential for safety (making sure that the current only goes into one direction).<\/p>\n
