Are these normal electro-mecanical relays? Are the contacts isolated from the coil and cape? There are also toggle relays, which require a positive coil voltage to set and a negative coil voltage to reset. You are NOT using one of these? To test the coil side. The cape drives the coil and you

Don't you need a resistor between the power and the LED? Something like a 330 Ohm to 1K Ohm? Or is this like an automotive Lamp that you are using? Are you hearing the relay trigger at all with the code you are using? Can you share this? Jon On Sun, Mar 29, 2020 at 2:37 PM Mala Dies wrote: >
