Arduino Hands-On -2-Channel Optocoupler Relay Module
Experiment:2-Channel Relay Module with Optocoupler Protection Arduino Expansion Board
The optocoupler is widely used in computer terminals, controllable silicon system devices, measuring instruments, copiers, automatic ticketing systems, and household appliances such as fans and heaters for signal transmission between circuits. It completely isolates the front end from the load, aiming to increase safety, reduce circuit interference, and simplify circuit design.
