Lesson 65: Controlling 2 channel Solid State relay with push buttons with Arduino

Part 6: Using Relay with Arduino

In this lesson we learn how to use two channel Solid State Relay and turn them ON and OFF using two push button where the state is toggled. Push ON and push off. The wiring of a relay module is shown and code is explained.

  * Lesson 65: Using Solid State Relay  with Arduino and two push buttons
 *  Arduino code to push-ON and push-OFF 2 channel Solid State Relay
 *  when button pushed, relay ON and stay ON
 *  push again to make it OFF and stay OFF
 * this can be done with 2 push button to control 2 solid state relay
