Hello, I am new to this forum and need help with a project I am working on with my younger brother.
Using Arduino Uno broad and Seeed relay shield to turn the power on and off via the computer. Have the power coming straight from the outlet but the resistors I got from Radio Shack cant handle that and start to get hot really quickly because they were only 100ohm 10watts. (small white ones) and some of the tape around it started to melt!!!
What kind of resistors do I need? (I have yet to determine how many ohms the output has to be but can buy a few and test the ones I need)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
