Notes on setting up the ports as outputs or driving a larger relay
You can use the output to drive a relay if you buy the right kind of relay. You don't drive it
high, you sink the current on logic low. The relay will return to its normal state when the
control output is high. It doesn't drive the relay high, it returns to its normal state when the
output of the control is high. The control will sink 20 mA when it is low. This is enough to
drive any control circuit or an LED.
