 		 #120425 - 12v relay
Responding to: ???'s previous message
You can drive a 12v relay.

Use a NPN (e.g. BC547) not PNP (BC557) transistor.

Connect the output pin of the controller to the base of the transistor. Connect the emitter to ground. Connect the collector to the relay and the other side of the relay to +12v. The diode goes over emittor and collecter.

When the output pin is high the relay goes on.
