Hi all pislisters, Happy Labour day. I have a question on driving an external relay. I would like to know if it is appropriate to drive an external relay using one single wire? What i am trying to say here is that for PCB relay, the coil and the shunting diode are usually placed very near to each other. As for external relay, one end of the coil is connected to the driver(PCB) while the other is connected to ground (as for my case, it will the the car body). Would that be appropriate with the diode so far away from the coil? Hope you guys/gals understand my question. Best regards, Pang -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
