[Tastebridge] [Noisebridge-discuss] type of diode needed for relay/arduino circuit

[Frantisek Apfelbeck]

OK I'll be going shopping in few hours. If anyone could have a look on the info which I uploaded to the wiki below

https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Temporary_IE


and tell me if it sounds OK and if I am missing something, that would be great!

Sincerely,

Happy circuit frying!

>>We need to connect relay to the peltier device (100w) and to arduino, it is heart of the cooling/heating system of the experimental incubator. We took this picture some year and half ago but I do not know what type of diode it is and I need to buy some for tomorrow. We are going to repeat this "experiment" and hopefully also connect 10 kohm based thermistor and measure temperature.
