Part 6: Using Relay with Arduino
In this lesson we learn how to control 4 channel relay with 4 push buttons. There are two codes. This code (lesson 66-2) is to push and hold to turn the light on and keep it pressed. The code lesson 66-1 is to toggle the relay like push-on, push-off.

* Lesson 66-2: Controlling 4 channel relay with push button switches
* Arduino code to use 4 push buttons to turn ON of OFF 4 channel relay
* push and hold to turn ON
* release to turn OFF
* this can be done with 4 push button to control 4 relays.
See lesson 66-1 for the code that toggles the light push-on, push-off
