Relays

The Relays class constructs a collection object containing multiple relay objects. Any method called on a Relays collection will be called on each member of the Relays collection with the same parameters.

Once instantiated, a Relays collection object is static.

Parameters

• numsOrObjects An array of pins, relay parameter objects and/or Relay objects:

  Property	Type	Value/ Description	Default	Required
  numsOrObjects	Array	An element for each relay. Any valid relay parameters will work		yes

Component Initialization

With Pins

// Create three basic relays
//
new five.Relays([9, 10, 11]);

With Objects

// Create two customized relays
//
new five.Relays([{
  pin: 9, 
  type: "NO",
}, {
  pin: 10, 
  type: "NC",
}]);

Usage

Control all members simultaneously:

var five = require("johnny-five");
var board = new five.Board();

board.on("ready", function() {

  var relays = new five.Relays([9, 10]);

  // Close all relay circuits.
  relays.close();
});

Control a single relay in a Relays instance:

var five = require("johnny-five");
var board = new five.Board();

board.on("ready", function() {

  var relays = new five.Relays([9, 10]);

  // Close the relay on pin 9.
  relays[0].close();
});

Using Relay objects in Relays:

var five = require("johnny-five");
var board = new five.Board();

board.on("ready", function() {

  var r1 = new five.Relay(9);
  var r2 = new five.Relay(10);

  var joints = new five.Relays([r1, r2]);

  // Close all relays independently
  r1.close();
  r2.close();

  // Open all relays.
  relays.open();
});

API

All methods and properties in the Relay API are available on Relay

Events

Events are emitted on the individual Relay objects so listeners must be attached there. See Relay events
