What components I need?

Hello,

What components I need to connect a USB cable used for computer power to ATTINY2313?
Circuit controls the relay 220V.

Do I need voltage regulator? Diode?

Thank you

Operating Voltages
2.7 ~ 5.5V (ATtiny2313)

Nothing need, connect directly VCC to +5V and GND to GND.

You don't need anything. Just cut the plug off and find the red/black wires.

I connected the cable without additional components and it works.
But there is a problem,
There is a program operated by the relay for 5 minutes and turn it off for 5 minutes automatically.
When the relay changes from On to Off then there is electronic interruptions other USB devices connected to the computer like a mouse.

3 ways,

  1. Replace relay to SSR (solid state relay), AC load use dc-ac type, and for DC load use dc-dc type.
  2. Add big value capacitor cross 5 V and GND.
  3. Use wireless USB power module to isolate power supply.

Number 2 is easiest, worth to try first.

I don't think the capacitor will help if the problem is when it goes "On to Off.

More likely there's a big spike coming back from the relay. You need a diode across the relay input to stop them.

YOu should connect the relay like this:

OK, now we are talking EMI, Capacitor will take care E portion. The computer by design will be OK for some kind of "M". plus the OP play with ATTINY2313 (Pro level). I would remind him/her "Do not forget connect flyback/protection diode" even he does forget. :stuck_out_tongue:

add protection with flyback diode.

Thank you all for your help,

Which diode I need to connect?

But not all capacitors are equal for this job.

Is the 1N5408 diode is it for?
