The GPIO on a Pi does not have enough power to run MOST relays, there are a few it can but not many and are specialised. Buffering is the circuit used to increase the power available to drive a relay - See attached image. Lets get the basics first:- What raspberry Pi have you got ? What DAC do you use ? How does the relay power the amplifier 120/220 Vac ? Then we can go from there, as I said I have never had any problems with the -G option on pCP (PiCorePlayer) and use -G in 4 systems Jeff 26180 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: How-to-Control-a-Relay-using-Raspberry-Pi-Relay-Drive.jpg| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=26180| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ *Players:* SliMP3,Squeezebox3 x3,Receiver,SqueezeLite-X,PiCorePlayer x3 *Server:* LMS Version: Latest Nightly on Centos 7.5 VM on ESXi 6.5.0U2 on Dell T320 *Plugins:* AutoRescan/BBCiPlayer/PowerSave/PowerSwitchIII/Squeezecloud/Spotty/Player Groups *Remotes:* iPeng9/Orangesqueeze/PC/Jivelite/SqueezeLite-X *Music:* 522GB,1660 albums with 23087 songs by 5204 artists mostly FLACs *Want a webapp ?* See http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?104305-Webapp-for-LMS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jeff07971's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49290 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109850 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
