Relay Shield (DFR0144) without Arduino?
Account cancelled 2012-08-13 03:18:43 3151 Views1 Replies Hi There
Is there a way to have the relay shield (DFR0144) being controlled by the Xbee wireless device only (without an arduino board).
Is these something possible or you always need to have an arduino connected to it.

At the moment there is no way to control the relays from the Xbee module alone...
You must have an Arduino connected to the shield.
Well, there is a way...but its not elegant. The shield does provide the pins:
Tx
Rx
D2
D3
D4
D5
These along with 3.3v and GND are the pins you need to control the relay. BUT you would need to wire everything up manually without the use of the Xbee headers. PLUS you would need to learn how to control the Xbee's I/O pins...
You can take a look at the schematic provided in the product page.
