REL2001_0 (mechaincal relay) with 1019_1B (8/8/8 w/ USB)

Post by AdamLee »

Yesterday we ran out of VINT hub ports so I switched the relay (REL2001_0) we had hooked up to the hub over to our 8/8/8 interface kit (1019_1B).

I connected the white wire to a digital out, the red wire to the +5V on the digital in side and the black wire to the ground on the digital in side. Seemed to work just fine. Is this the correct way to wire it?

The reason I'm asking is because once I connected it we started seeing disconnects after about 10 minutes. This seems to be repeatable. We've removed the relay for now to see if it fixes the problem.

The 8/8/8 is using all USB ports for serial communication, one of which goes to a VINT hub with full ports. There's an additional three LEDs hooked up to the digital outputs and one voltage input. I'm not 100% sure what the power consumption of it is currently but I guess my concern is that we're driving too much off of the kit. Does anyone see any issues with this right off hand?
