Octoprint Relay board

I tested this relay board out on a breadboard. seems to work well. I had to move some components around to scale it down to the size board i had laying around. This is for a remote switch for the 3d printer i got. I'm going to connect it to the gpio pints of the raspberry pi/ octoprint server to shut it down remotely.

I'll test it out on a something else like a light before the printer to ensure i don't fry it. Fingers x'd.

  • I finally got this thing up and running and it works great turning the printer on and off. After the breadboard prototype, i had to move stuff around and went a lil' off track from the original design that set me back a bit but i finally got it to work. Octoprint has a PSU plugin that saved me from having to edit any config files. I just setup the reset function in the plugin settings by adding the gpio pin to trigger the relay board and thats it.

    Off to a good start finishing up some old projects. Time for some remote printing. I want to print a case but i only want to have one power cord to power everything. Power and ethernet coming in and printer and camera going out. Maybe a power switch too. Any suggestions?
