- ULN2803AG relay driver: datasheet
Protocol
The relay board have a very simple and limited protocol. Once entered the command mode, every following byte will be interpreted as a mask for switching the relays.
| Byte | Command | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0x50 | Query the device type.
Response:
| |||||||||
| 0x51 | Start command mode.
Every following byte will be interpreted as a mask for switching the relays. |
Example use
Detect the device and display its properties.
