Power supply for relay
i have project involving relay, pir sensor, , ac fan. works intended ugly, ugly, 2 wall warts, 1 supplying arduino, relay, , wire fan, coming power strip. single wire ac outlet box more elegant. assume arduino , relay can't supplied single wart via transistor, or in case, tip120? mains power accessed single terminal inside project box 2 warts? ignorant question, coming wall gives me willies!
you have not said voltages , currents using.
i can guess relay requires more 5 v and/or more 30 ma. perhaps should different relay.
if relay used 5v , <30 ma can run directly arduino pin without separate power supply or transistor driver. if uses 5v , >30 ma (up 400 ma) can drive arduino transistor.
