X-Board_Relay_SKU_DFR0222_-DFRobot

Introduction

Internet of thing is becoming so easy. With Xboard Relay, you can not only monitor data through internet, but also control it through internet. The Xboard Relay combines an Atmega 32u4 microprocessor and wiz5100 chip which is fully compatible with Arduino Lendardo and Ethernet library, it has build-in Xbee socket and 2 Relays which allow an easy play sensoring and controlling over internet.

Not like previous X-board, X-board relay has no programming adapter required. A micro usb cable is the only hardware needed to upload sketch.

Specification

New Version Burning Tutorials

Pinout

Relay's connected to pins D7 and D8

Sample Code

Preparation

You will need:

  1. W5500 Ethernet with POE Mainboard
  2. Micro USB cable
  3. PC
  4. RJ45 network cable

Step 1: Connections

1.The X-Board Relay module access the Internet line into any router LAN port, 2.Micro USB cable plugged into the X-Board relay module, and the other end to the computer USB port.

warning_yellow.png NOTE: after uploading the sketch below successfully, you have to open Arduino Serial Monitor to get the card run. This is to ensure the initialization done, you could also delete or comment those three lines of code and add a delay(1000) instead.

Step 2:Download

Programming code:

//while (!Serial) {
//  ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for Leonardo only
//}
/*

 A simple web server with DHPC capbabilty.
1)Get IP address from router automatically
2)Show the value of the analog input pins

Check that it works

1 After burning is complete, open the serial monitor. Window displays your IP address.

2 Open a browser -> Enter the IP address -> Enter to open the page.

3 Serial Monitor has a corresponding feedback data.
