Channel BCM Description
CH1 P21/P16 Channel 1
CH2 P20/P19 Channel 2
CH3 P26/P13 Channel 3

Jumpers

Relay_JMP is a relay control pin selection jumper. When the jumper caps are connected, you can use Raspberry Pi to control the relays.
For example: If you want to stack A and B, then: the jumper caps of board A should be placed at P21, P20, and P26; the jumper caps of board B should be placed at P16, P19, and P13.

Use with Jetson Nano

Examples

Download Demo Codes

Open a terminal, download the demo codes, and unzip it.

sudo apt-get install p7zip
wget https://files.waveshare.com/upload/f/f8/3-ch_Realy_for_jetsonnano.7z
7zr x 3-ch_Realy_for_jetsonnano.7z -r -o./3-ch_Realy_for_jetsonnano
cd 3-ch_Realy_for_jetsonnano

Testing

Hardware configuration: set the jumpers on D21, D20, and D26 (default setting). Go to the directory 3-ch_Realy_for_jetsonnano and run the following commands:

sudo python test.py

Expect result: The Relay channels onboard are toggled and the LEDs indicate according to the status of the channel. You can press Ctrl+C to stop.

Web Control

The example uses the Python Web framework to control the Relay board.
Open a terminal and run the following commands:

sudo apt-get install python-bottle
cd python-bottle
sudo python main.py

Open a Chrome browser, and go to page [IP of Jetson nano ]:8080.
for example: 192.168.1.11:8080
Then you can click the icon on the Webpage to troggle the relay.
