Detailed Description

• ID: relay
• Name: Relay
• Other Names: Grove Relay
• Category: relay
• Manufacturer: seeed
• Connection: gpio
• Kit: gsk eak hak

UPM module for the relay switch. The relay is a digital normally-open switch that uses low voltage or current to control a higher voltage and/or higher current. When closed, the indicator LED (if present) lights up and current is allowed to flow.

    // Create the relay switch object using GPIO pin 0
    upm::Relay* relay = new upm::Relay(0);

    // Close and then open the relay switch 3 times,
    // waiting one second each time.  The LED on the relay switch
    // will light up when the switch is on (closed).
    // The switch will also make a noise between transitions.
    for ( int i = 0; i < 3; i++ ) {
        relay->on();
        if ( relay->isOn() ) 
            std::cout << relay->name() << " is on" << std::endl;
        sleep(1);
        relay->off();
        if ( relay->isOff() ) 
            std::cout << relay->name() << " is off" << std::endl;
        sleep(1);
    }

    // Delete the relay switch object
    delete relay;

Member Function Documentation

mraa_result_t on

(

)

Sets the relay switch to on (closed). This allows current to flow and lights up the indicator LED.

Returns

0 if successful, non-zero otherwise

mraa_result_t off

(

)

Sets the relay switch to off (open). This stops current from flowing and the indicator LED is not lit.

Returns

0 if successful, non-zero otherwise

bool isOn

(

)

Defines whether the relay switch is closed.

Returns

True if the switch is on (closed), false otherwise

bool isOff

(

)

Defines whether the relay switch is open.

Returns

True if the switch is off (open), false otherwise
