Hi all,
I'm building an electronic coop door opener for my chicken coop and have hit my electronics limit! I have a wifi camera in my coop which has a relay output fr an alarm which can be activated by a computer or phone. It had the volt meter on it and when switched on it simply created a circuit. Now I want to use this to trigger a drill so as I see it I have two issues.
1. The drill we need a 12v supply so I will need to just is the 5 volt relay to
Activate the 12v circuit somehow??
2. How can I use one relay to switch between driving the drill one way and the other so that i can both open and close the door?
Any help will be great. I know the basics but I have never used relays.
