Attached is a picture of the relay module and a crude sketch of my design.
The 24v power source powers the 24v relay module and a receiver PCB. The RX PCB receives an external signal and sends a momentary 24v trigger to relay 3 which is connected to a pin on the Arduino. Relay 3 momentarily opens and activates a home automation response.
Relays 1 & 2 are connected to my garage door openers and to the Arduino. The Arduino triggers them.
I'm new to this so these might be dumb questions.
Should I use a common ground by connecting the ground pin on Arduino with the 24v ground supply?
Will the 3v (haven't tested the current yet) from the Arduino be enough to trigger the relays 1 & 2?
Am I missing something else?
