Review: Easy to hook up, didn't blow up my Arduino! - Experience: Software engineer, learning electronics with my Arduino. My dad is an EE talked me through all current measurements. SETUP: - Connect arduino powersupply 5v to VCC - Connect arduino Digital ground to ground - Connect arduino digital output to any IN1-IN8 - You're in business! CURRENT: I connected my meter in series and found I was drawing 64mA across the Arduino 5v power supply and 1.9mA across the Arduino output pin. I flipped it over and measured 7100ohms across the coil, meaning the coil is drawing 0.7mA at 5v. These numbers honestly seem a little low to me - e.g. I expected more like 19mA across the output, but 64mA across the power supply seems very reasonable with all eight relays drawing 400mA per the spec. Note: Arduino max power supply voltage is 500mA on USB, so you're good there too. PROS: - This won't blow up your Arduino. - I didn't realize this model had LEDs. I looked at the 4 relay model and the LEDs are bigger, but these are smaller and work great. - LED's in the circuit act as diodes. My dad told me when the field collapses on a DC coil it generates a negative voltage. If you don't have a diode in the way you could burn up your output transistor. - This has NC (Normal Closed) and NO (Normal Open) contacts on the high voltage side. So if you want your lights ON or OFF by default you can do that. It has a nice diagram on the board showing how the high voltage contacts are laid out. - Price - 4 mounting holes on the board if you need to bolt it to something! - Lot's of fun - you should buy one! CONS: - N/A OTHER: - The header PINs are really nice, but I only have male breadboard jumpers and need to buy some male-female jumpers from radio shack before I can hook this baby up to my xMas light setup!!
Review: Opto-isolation, indicators, 3.3/5V and breadboard-friendly. Good price, but be careful tightening terminals. - These are wonderful and a great value. These have both optical and magnetic isolation, providing a lot of protection to the inputs from electrical faults on the outputs. They work well with 3.3V and 5V logic (RasPi, Teensy, Arduino, ...), requiring little current drive. Very breadboard-friendly if you use a simple M/F jumper wire. They have indicator LEDs that can save you hours of problem-determination time, aid classroom demonstrations and reassure you things are working as expected. They're red, so someone might confuse them with error LEDs. The contacts have fairly low bounce and quick switch-over time. They have 3 terminals per SPDT relay, but they are soldered to the board, not on a connector. This is the only drawback I can find with this product. If you twist too hard, you can ruin the terminal. Fortunately it's a common header and easy to resolder.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great device!
*by C***C on January 1, 2014*

This is a fantastic thing to have with Arduino. I honestly only bought this because I had a gift card and it looked semi interesting but I have really kept myself entertained with it. No regrets. Hook the relay boards VCC to the +5 on the Arduino, the boards GND to the Arduinos Ground and then just use simple HIGH and LOW digital pin states in Arduino with the board pins. Each relay has three terminals. One input terminal and the other two are for a normal-open output and closed output making this pretty versatile. The relays are very fast too. I wouldn't try to switch them below 40ms though (the fast parts in the video are 46ms on/off) since that may cause some wear or you may get some bad switching. These would be great for a christmas light setup if you're in to that. I still haven't figured out what I want to do with this in the long run but it is very cool and I can see a lot of potential in it. For now I just decided to make a quick sketch to a song (using only HIGH/LOW pin states and delays). I think I'll hook it up to some lights or something eventually.
