You can program and control this relay board via a PC Serial Port. Simply connect a serial cable from your computer to the connector on relay board. There are 8 relays each capable of switching 250V/12A. Connections are via Dinkle connectors (250V rated). There are also 4 optically isolated inputs that can be used for feed back. We provide Windows 9x/2000/ME/XP software download to control the unit. The kit is a boon to the Science Fair project, laboratory experimenter and so on. Uses serial port so it can be located over 100 yards from the PC. Talking to the serial port under Windows XP is a LOT easier than talking to the parallel port. This unit also works with most USB to serial port adapters so even if your computer does not have a serial port you should be able to use this unit!

NOTE: You can put this device anywhere on your local Ethernet network by using the SITEPLAYER! Use the FREE SitePlayer Serial Port Redirector driver for Windows® PC (2000, XP) that comes with the unit. If you need to go WIRELESS connect SITEPLAYER to a wireless bridge!

K72 - CK1601 Parallel Port Relay Board w/Software
Can be used with Astrovideo for autoguiding

Do you have an old PC lying around the house which absolutely no one wants? Then you can convert it into a dedicated controller. Communicate with the real world via the parallel printer port on your PC. Simply connect printer cable from your computer to the connector on the relay board. There are 8 relays each capable of switching 12VDC / 10A or 240VAC / 5A. Each relay has an LED to indicate when it is operated. We provide two sets of complete, stand-alone software to control the relays: one works under DOS so you can write your own batch files to control individual relays, the other under Windows 9x/2000/ME/XP. The kit is a boon to the Science Fair project, laboratory experimenter and so on.
