Lesson 8 How to Use a Relay
Introduction
The relay is an electronic and electrical component that controls large currents by small
currents. In the course of building a Raspberry Pi project, generally many large current or
high volume devices like solenoid valve, lamp and motor cannot be connected directly to
digital I/Os of the Raspberry Pi. At this moment, a relay can save your project.
