First tests

A project log for Cardboard Relay - Uglytech is getting better

A relay constructed from materials found in the home and will hold up to actual daily use.

This the first test run for the relay.

This is with the contact gap adjustment screw added and the relay connected between IO and the typewriter/printer for a slow test.

Next log

Thanks Yann :-) The current is still very high at 400 ma but just using enough coil turns to make it work. Needs more turns to bring that current down to something practical ;-) Also finer wire would be better as this is 28ga. Diode is in there.

Are you sure? yes | no

That's so awesome :-D

What's the coil current ? Do you have a freewheel diode ?
