Arduino MKR Relay Proto Shield
Overview
The MKR Relay Protoshield allows you to easily add relays to your MKR board based project.
The shield provides two relays (Datasheet) called RELAY1 and RELAY2 commanded by pin 1 and pin 2 respectively.
The shield also provides an easy connection by means of screw terminal blocks to A1 to A4 analog inputs, I2C and supply voltages.
- Operating voltage 3.3V (supplied from the host board)
- Two relays with NO, COM and NC connections
- Works with battery powered board
- 8 positions screw terminal blocks for easy connections with A1 to A4 Analog input, SCL SDA for I2C, GND and 3.3V output
- 6 positions screw terminal blocks (NO, COM, NC for each relay)
- Carry current: 2 A
- Max. operating voltage: 24 VAC, 50 VDC
- Max. operating current: 1 A
- Max. switching capacity: 62.50 VA, 30W
- Proto area

As robotics advance, the future could certainly involve humans and automated elements working together as a team. The question then becomes, how do you design such an interaction? A team of researchers from Purdue University attempt to provide a solution with their GhostAR system. The setup records human movements for playback later in augmented reality, while a robotic partner is programmed to work around a “ghost” avatar. This enables a user to plan out how to collaborate with the robot and work out kinks before actually performing a task. GhostAR's hardware includes an Oculus Rift headset and IR LED tracking, along with actual robots used in development. Simulation hardware consists of a six-axis Tinkerkit Braccio robot, as well as an Arduino-controlled omni-wheel base that can mount either a robot an arm or a camera as needed. More information on the project can be found in the team's research paper. With GhostX, whatever plan a user makes with the ghost form of the robot while wearing an augmented reality head mount is communicated to the real robot through a cloud connection – allowing both the user and robot to know what the other is doing as they perform a task.The system also allows the user plan a task directly in time and space and without any programming knowledge.First, the user acts out the human part of the task to be completed with a robot. The system then captures the human’s behavior and displays it to the user as an avatar ghost, representing the user’s presence in time and space.Using the human ghost as a time-space reference, the user programs the robot via its own ghost to match up with the human’s role. The user and robot then perform the task as their ghosts did.
