(3) Switch GPIO to input mode to turn SSR/Relay/Buzzer off (Appendix C)Īs explained above, Rpi's High is not high enough to cut off the optocoupler LED, or PNP BJT's base/emitter/collector current, a workaround is just switch the GPIO to input mode, so no base current sinking, therefore all off. (b) Using any MOSFET logical level converter module which is auto detect bidirectional (Ref 4). This method is only one directional, ie, output only. There are a couple of ways, including the following: (a) Using a NPN BJT (eg 2N2222) in open collector mode, to pull up the 0V/3V signal to 0V/5V. This additional voltage drop makes the voltage at the IN/CH1 terminal higher than 3V, say 3.5V.

(1) Add a serial resistor 4k7 at the input (IN/CH1) terminalĮxplanation: The 4k7 causes an additional drop from 5V to Rpi's 3V (which is constant). There are a couple of workarounds, including the following: However, Rpi's High level < 3.3V is not high enough, therefore SSR is always on. The Arduino compatible device is designed to switch off by a High level of > 3.5V (Appendix A) Part 1 - Root Cause of the Cannot-Turn-Off-Device Problem The OP found that adding a series diode at the input terminal solves the problem.

The OP found that the 3V3 Raspberry Pi Zero (and 3V3 Arduino Mini Pro etc) can turn it on, but cannot turn it off (with only the status LED turning from bright on to dim on) The OP has a Low level triggered SSR for 5V Arduino. Second, Why did it only work when I reversed the diodes? It has something to do with the direction of the electron flow? Then I decided to invert the diodes and suddenly the relay module started working again, but this time the LED1 and LED2 were working as they should, being lid up only when active.įirst, is it safe to directly connect this relay module to my controllers? Why are the LEDs always turned on? Out of curiosity I decided to connect a pair of diodes in the channel inputs, like the picture below, but then the relays wouldn't activate at all. Only that when it was active the LED were like 100% bright, and when inactive they were at half brightness, but still turned on. I connected them to my GPIO pins, kind of like the picture below, and activated them, but I noticed that both the LEDs were shining regardless of output provided by my controllers. I have two of the SSR modules (HCMODU0115), like the one in the picture below. In my application I have a Raspberry Pi Zero and an Arduino that I'd like to use for an automation project. I have provided details below of the microcontrollers and modules that I am specifically using, but the question is a generic one. This question is about the use of any 3V3 supply microcontroller to drive 5V powered relay modules which are available from many suppliers.
