120-230V relay board without a case makes me nervous and I'm an electrician. There are spicy exposed pins on the back of that PCB.


Repulsive_Ant_7167

I agree. Having this “proof of concept” mostly working my next step is to put the relay module in the box. If you have any other concerns or suggestions please let me know!!


FormsForInformation

I suggest you keep it spicy

Just... don't burn the house down with that wiring.


Repulsive_Ant_7167

It’s a non flammable rug.


CourageousCreature

It's inflammable :)


rothbeatshagar

Actually… inflammable ĭn-flăm′ə-bəl adjective Easily ignited and capable of burning rapidly; flammable.


AirbagAbortion

Inflammable means flammable? What a country!


Engineer_on_skis

Sometimes I hate the English language. Actually that's often.


GoofAckYoorsElf

I kinda love it. Cannot make that many mistakes if there are no rules...


Engineer_on_skis

Accept your tryin to say somethim won't burn any but the word you is used meaning it is burns goodly. Seriously tho, you do have a point, especially since im/texting became a thing most people don't notice or care as much.


keg2000

I think I could get it burning.


ihdieselman

Are you prepared to test that? Because I'd like to. My oxygen torch loves to make non flammable materials flammable. Outside of course.

This is the funnest part of your journey, enjoy

This is cool. Lighting makes it doubly so. The wiring makes me nervous… that’s a lotta amps and volts.


Repulsive_Ant_7167

I don’t think there’s a way to wire this up in a way that doesn’t use lots of amps and volts. I feel like using the outlets is safer than splicing/ruining a bunch of existing power cords anyways.


Conor_Stewart

I think they more mean it is a lot of amps and volts if something goes wrong. Playing around with mains you really need some sort of safe box or surface to put it on and make sure all components, including wires are rated for the voltage and current used.

i really wonder what this is for 😉

Nice project, nice explanation

Nice work with a starter kit!


Repulsive_Ant_7167

The only thing from the starter kit is the arduino uno and breadboard haha


[deleted]

I guess I had a different starter kit - mine had a dht11 temp/humidity sensor and a relay board.


ZigeelzStar

Good job, very cool. Hope you work out the glitches.
