hi amm I am in need of some help I am currently working on a project and this is the first time I have used optocouplers and I am lost.
If it matters they are PC123 packaged couplers no Idea on the brand.
just for the sake of making sure they atleast work I tool a AAA battery and a x10 DS10a transmitter ?I wired the DS10a to the collector and emitter and applied power to the coupler and it will trigger the DS10a. however I can't get it to simply turn on an LED or what I am actually trying to do which is trigger an input on a Pi board.
Thanks,
Yonu
