1 Introduction

Relay

• The Matrix-Relay module is a SPDT relay which is an electrically operated switch. Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit by a low-power signal. In a electric system it is used to protect electrical circuits from overload or faults.

2 Features

• 1 Form C
• 5V supply voltage, GPIO signal: 3.3/5V
• Current on-contact up to 10A
• LED indicator
• 2.54 mm spacing pin
• PCB dimension (mm): 24 x 48

• Pin Description:

Pin	Description
S	GPIO
V	Supply Voltage 5V
G	Ground

3 Basic Device Operation

This is an SPDT relay. Its supply voltage is 5V and current on-contact is up to 10A. It can drive AC or DC high power loads. NO is Normally Open. NC is Normally Closed. COM is Common. When writing high to pin S NO will be open and NC will be closed.

4 Download Matrix Source Code

All the matrix modules' code samples are open source. They are maintained on GitHub - https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git
Each branch in this hub contains the matrix modules' code samples for a board that the matrix modules can work with.

• The nanopi branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the NanoPi
• The nanopi 2 branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the NanoPi 2
• The tiny4412 branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the Tiny4412
• The raspberrypi branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the RaspberryPi

Please follow the steps below to get the source code:
Install the git utility on a PC running Ubuntu14.04

$ sudo apt-get install git

Clone the matrix code from GitHub

$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git

If this is successful a "matrix" directory will be generated, which will contain all the matrix modules' code samples.

5 Connect to NanoPi 2

5.1 Hardware Connection

Please refer to the following connection diagram to connect the Matrix-Relay to the NanoPi 2:

Connection Details:

Matrix-Relay	NanoPi 2
S	Pin7
V	Pin4
G	Pin6

5.2 Compile Test Program

Please login the matrix hub and enter the nanopi2 branch

$ cd matrix
$ git checkout nanopi2

Compile the matrix code

$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- clean
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- install

Note: please make sure to install the cross compiler "arm-linux-gcc-4.9.3" on your PC, which is used to compile files for the NanoPi2.
Generated library files are under the "install/lib" directory. Applications are under the "install/usr/bin" directory. The test program for the "Matrix-Relay" module is "matrix-relay".
The driver is under the modules directory and its source code is in github: https://github.com/friendlyarm/linux-3.4.y.git

5.3 Run Test Program

Please insert a TF card which is flashed with Debian to a Linux host and mount its boot and rootfs sections.
We assume the rootfs is mounted to /media/rootfs then please run the following commands to copy the driver, library and test program to the card.

$ cp modules /media/rootfs/ -r
$ cp install/lib/* /media/rootfs/lib/ -d
$ cp install/usr/bin/* /media/rootfs/usr/bin/

Insert this TF card to your NanoPi 2, power on and run the following command to start matrix-relay.

$ matrix-relay

Note: this module is not plug and play therefore before running the module please make sure it is connected to a NanoPi 2.

5.4 Code Sample

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
    char *status = "off";
    if (argc != 2) {
        printf("Set relay on\n");
    } else {
        status = argv[1];
        printf("Set relay %s\n", argv[1]);
    }
 
    int pin = GPIO_PIN(7);
    int ret = -1;
    if ((ret = exportGPIOPin(pin)) != 0) {  
        printf("exportGPIOPin(%d) failed!", pin);
    }
    if ((ret = setGPIODirection(pin, GPIO_OUT)) != 0) {
        printf("setGPIODirection(%d) failed", pin);
    }
 
    if (strcmp(status, "on") == 0) {
        ret = setGPIOValue(pin, GPIO_HIGH);
    } else if (strcmp(status, "off") == 0) {
        ret = setGPIOValue(pin, GPIO_LOW);
    }
    return ret;
}
