Arduino Controller

Schematic drawing of eight Arduino controlled relay circuits. Each relay will act as a 'on/off' switch and is triggered by one of Arduino's digital pins. The circuits will use pin/socket connection points so that various different devices can be connected and triggered. A 'relay switch' could simply turn something on/off or act as a switch within a circuit or device altering the way it functions. Anywhere there is a switch or could be a switch a relay is placed so that Arduino is in control.

Code will be used to create delay sequences and patterns determining when each device is turned on/off or altered. Other inputs, ie: potentiometers, switches, photocells, and piezo disks, etc., could act as variables which alter the delay time frame within the sequences and patterns.

Parts:
Arduino
5V relay x 8
Pin/socket connectors
Wire
Breadboard
Potentiometers, photocells, switches, etc. (if required)

Hum... looks interesting! Do you have more info? Code? Can it be use with DC motors?
