I have one of these Latching relay modules You can flip it's state by shorting the two white wires or pressing the push button. I am trying to use Arduino to momentarily short the two wires together. I have checked the forums and found a couple people that have asked the same question, but they usually got either no answer or were berated for asking for help.
Just looking for some guidance.
TIA
Picture is cool. Need link to actual data sheet.
Thank you for replying, unfortunately it's just a Chinese cheapie charley it came with no instructions or data sheet. I am trying to use a digital pin and ground to 'connect' the white wires together momentarily. One of the pins is ground, and the other when applied to ground 'flips' the relay. I will do more research, maybe I should ask in the Newbies forum.

How about a PART NUMBER or a link to where you bought it?
I believe this is it

Yes that's the one. I'm sorry I didn't add that info first. I think I need to read up more on how to ask a question. I read the 'posting for beginners' thread, but I will go back and read it again more thoroughly this time.
I think I figured it out.... I should have been able to figure it out on my own, at one point I just couldn't seem to 'get it'. So maybe I was too quick to come as for help.
I just connected one lead to ground and the other to a digital pin that I switched from HIGH to LOW 50ms interval.

Thanks for coming back and sharing your solution
