School of CIT, EIU. Lecturer – Phan Van Vinh, Ph.D.

Explain how relay works in details.

Answer:

Experiment Procedure

1. Connect Relay module to your Wemos Board and LED to the BreadBoard
2. Write the code with Arduino IDE with the following requirements:
- When you type “Led ON” in Serial Monitor, Relay is active and LED is
turn ON, print “Led ON” message to Serial Monitor
- When you type “Led OFF” in Serial Monitor, Relay is inactive and LED is
turn OFF, print “Led OFF” message to Serial Monitor

Task 2 – Control LAMP with Wemos and Relay module using a Web interface

Hardware requirements

# Device Quantity
1 Wemos Board 1
2 BreadBoard 1
3 Lamp (220V AC) 1
4 Relay Module 5V 1
5 Power Supply 220V 1

Figure 1. Circuit diagram for using Relay module to control Lamp (220V)

Experiment Procedure

1. Connect Relay module to your Arduino Board and Lamp 220V to Relay
module as shown in the figure 1.
NOTE: Before providing the electric source, make sure you have made the
right connection for your electric circuit. Ask Lecturer to check it before going
to next step.
2. Enable web service on Wemos.
3. Design a simple web interface with button to control LAMP 220V.
4. Allow user to connect to Web interface on Wemos to control LAMP and
display how many times the LAMP is turned ON.

Task 3 – Control LAMP with Wemos and Relay module using TCP socket

Hardware requirements

# Device Quantity
1 Wemos Board 1
2 BreadBoard 1
3 Lamp (220V AC) 1
4 Relay Module 5V 1
5 Power Supply 220V 1

Experiment Procedure

1. Connect Relay module to your Arduino Board and Lamp 220V to Relay
module as shown in the figure 1.
NOTE: Before providing the electric source, make sure you have made the
right connection for your electric circuit. Ask Lecturer to check it before going
to next step.
2. Create a TCP socket between Wemos (server) and C# program (client)
3. Allow user to use the program on computer to control LAMP and display how
many times the LAMP is ON
