Dual Relay bricket as Strobe Controller (How fast switch rates is ?)

[neomutant]

Hi

 

Im planing to create strobe controller with music control, low frequency will trigger one relay and high another one. I will use LiPo 6s 5000mah (22.2v) battery for the led's.

 

How fast the Dual Relay bricket can swich on/off ?

Hi,

 

the relays are mechanical, thus the switching speed and life period is limited.

 

Please see the datasheet in the documentation:

 

https://github.com/Tinkerforge/dual-relay-bricklet/raw/master/datasheets/T7CS5D-05.pdf

Frequency of operation: 360 ops./h

 

 

Maybe a better option would be the Industrial Quad Relay:

It has something like 3ms switching speed and can switch up to 1.2A:

Industrial Quad Relay with other tings are ordered. Thx for help. Now Im waiting for GPS bricket and sonic range bricket to complete my other project. I hope they get in shop soon and the Gps Bricket will be fast and precise as hell
