Adafruit Art Controller Relay Board Kit

The Art Controller is an all-in-one relay module featuring microcontroller-based timing and logic. It provides seamless switching of AC or DC loads and can be reprogrammed for specialized applications. This device originated from kinetic artists' needs, proving its versatility in various scenarios beyond art installations.

With a recommended load rating of 24 V DC/40 VAC, 5 A, and screw terminals for easy connection, this controller is built for reliable performance. It features an on-board 5 V regulator and can operate from 7-15 V DC or directly from 5 V. The pre-programmed AVR Microcontroller is housed with a 6-pin programming header, enabling personalization of its functions.

The system offers a wide range of timing features, with delays settable between 1 second and 31 hours via DIP switches. It eliminates guesswork, providing precision with every use. Auxiliary cancel-trigger input adds control by allowing operations to halt instantly if needed. The controller can be triggered by any low-going signal, ensuring compatibility with various input devices.

From serving as a one-shot timer to functioning in repeating modes, the Art Controller adapts to your needs. Cancel-trigger options and automatic power-on triggering enhance its flexibility. While standard firmware supports various configurations, the microcontroller’s reprogramming potential lets users fully customize its behavior to meet specific requirements.
