#Relay Driver for the relay-mono Tessel relay module. The hardware documentation for this module can be found here.
If you run into any issues you can ask for support on the Relay Module Forums.
###Installation
npm install relay-mono
###Example
/*********************************************
This relay module demo toggles both relay
channels every two seconds, logging the new
values to the console upon latching.
*********************************************/
var tessel = require('tessel');
var relaylib = require('../');
var relay = relaylib.use(tessel.port['A']);
// Wait for the module to connect
relay.on('ready', function relayReady () {
console.log('Ready! Toggling relays...');
setInterval(function toggle() {
// Toggle relay channel 1
relay.toggle(1, function toggleOneResult(err) {
if (err) console.log("Err toggling 1", err);
});
// Toggle relay channel 2
relay.toggle(2, function toggleTwoResult(err) {
if (err) console.log("Err toggling 2", err);
});
}, 2000); // Every 2 seconds (2000ms)
});
// When a relay channel is set, it emits the 'latch' event
relay.on('latch', function(channel, value) {
console.log('latch on relay channel ' + channel + ' switched to', value);
});
###Methods
# relay.getState( relayChannel, callback(err, state) )
Gets the state of the specified relay channel: "true" for on and "false" for off.
# relay.toggle( relayChannel, callback(err) )
Switches the state of the specified relay channel: on if it's off; off if it's on.
# relay.turnOff( relayChannel, callback(err) )
Switches off the specified relay channel.
# relay.turnOn( relayChannel, callback(err) )
Switches on the specified relay channel.
###Events
# relay.on( 'error', callback(err) )
Emitted upon error.
# relay.on( 'latch', callback(channel, state))
Emitted when the latch state (boolean on or off ) is changed for a channel.
# relay.on( 'ready', callback() )
Emitted upon first successful communication between the Tessel and the module.
