** To avoid any kind of confusions: Please be aware that ESP8266 is not included in the default option as many of you want them without, to use them with their own ESP or other MCU's. To add also ESP8266 use the options from the right.

USBProgv8.4 usage update

Please take a look at the pictures above if using the USBPRGv8.4 Programmer. Check wiring twice before power up device. Connecting them in a wrong way might conduct at irreversible device failure and magic smoke release!!

What is it?

MPRSx8 is a WIFI friendly 8x MAINS Relays board fully compatible with Arduino, ARM, ESP8266, ESP32, PIC, RaspberryPI, etc

Why did you make it?

The idea behind was to design a safe, compact, all-in-one Universal MAINS (EU/US) compatible 8x High Power Relays board that can be easily used for industrial or home automation projects and experiments, fully compatible with Arduino, ARM, ESP8266, ESP32, PIC, RaspberryPI, etc.

Features:

• Compact, standard size: 16x5 cm! (half Eurocard height)
• Universal AC MAINS input (240VAC/50Hz (EU) or 110V/60Hz (US)
• Safe operation design
• Proper MOV and high quality ceramic FUSE MAINS input protection.
• 8 x MAINS rated 15A Relays
• 8 x independent swithing Power Channels
• Power Channels can be software configured for mutually exclusive usage
• Recommended load upto 10A/channel
• LED signaling Panel for each Power Channel Status
• Integrated switchmode MAINS PSU
• Separate high efficient switchmode PSU for command & control circuit
• Can work also from a external +12V power supply just not install the MAINS PSU
• I2C / nEXT Bus compatible - you can add your own extension modules - light sensors, gas, motion, etc
• Can be stacked upto 8 boards for a total of 64 Power Channels!!
• Compatible with any I2C compatible MCU/Board: Arduino, ARM, PIC, ATMEGA, ESP8266, ESP32, RaspberryPI, etc
• ESP8266 friendly design: can add your ESP8266 module directly onboard for a full WIFI MAINS Power switchboard solution
• Full access to ESP8266 pins thru 2 headers gives you even more flexibility in developing your projects!
• Full programming header (Tx, Rx, GPIO0 and Reset)
