I was reading your wonderful tutorial on the PiRelay HAT and you mention you can stack these. I would like to stack two of these modules to get eight relays.

Could you tell me what changes to the configuration/software I would need to address the additional relays in the python code?

Appreciate your help!

Hi Michael,

Welcome to the forum!

For hardware I’d check out this 8-channel HAT: 8 Relays Card V2 for Raspberry Pi | The Pi Hut | Core Electronics Australia

To get the python code up to scratch, you’ll need to modify the tkinter page to include the extra relays (and add those functions) - chatGPT should be able to help a ton :smiley:

I had this device working, ran into problems with my Pi, and now reinstalling on a new Pi
When I came to the second line of the software instructions ( git clone GitHub - sbcshop/PiRelay-V2: PiRelay-V2 is developed by SB Components with the potential to control 4 appliances and loads up to 20V AC/ 7 A, 30V DC/ 10A to provide a way to control the high voltage/current devices.) it went bad for me. The Git people apparent have changed how to access the software and I have not been able to fathom out how. Can anybody assist me with this? Perhaps it is as easy as a different command line

I am replying to this myself bcause I don’t know how to delete it. I found the solution despite my tiring eyes. The command line insists (would you believe?) on it being typed in correctly! Where I type in “Relau”, it didn’t realise I meant “Relay”. At least this has been an experience for me

I am replying because I am facing and issue with 5v relay .when I open the GUI (my own created) the relay automatically trigger and on when I exit or close rhe gui the relay of ,gui buttons not working.i facing this issue since 4 days . Why relay automatically trigger please help me sir

Hi @Aarav288707

Welcome to the forum!

We will need some more info from you to be able to help out with that one, are you able to post the code that you’re using?
