Hi, I'm Edward and I am in the middle of my thesis. can some here please help me to program my Arduino 2560? Is it possible to control 6 relays at different instances? I mean can arduino do multitasking without interrupting the first process? Please Help.
You can sequentially operate multiple o/ps (relays) using the Arduino.
You would connect 6 of the following to Arduino and energize them as needed.
Or you could look at the blink without delay example for clues of how to do this.
so it means i cannot have two processes at the same time? it is sequentially possible but it comes in sequence right?
No two things can operate exactly the same time, but compared to a microcontroller, a relay is extremely slow.
You can only do two things to a relay - turn it on or turn it off.
Neither operation takes more than a few hundred nanoseconds.
So, with all the spare time you have, you can look at controlling other relays.
Edward_James:
at the same time?
Yes, you can do them 'at the same time'.
Hi tried to do multitasking, but its extremely very slow.

Apart from demonstrating an example of a tautology, was there a point to your post?
