> Using the Arduino Xboard to control a relay

Original author: Brija (source: https://www.dfrobot.com/blog-194.html)

## Components

- **Arduino** x 1
- **Xboard** x 1
- **FTDI programmer** x 1
- **Relay** x 1
- **CAT5 cable** x 1
- **pair of xbee modules** x 1
- Software: **Arduino IDE** ([docs](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software))

## Article

This project guides show to control a relay using Xboard based on Arduino. Xboard's firmware can be uploaded by Arduino IDE also. If you need to control a relay, it will be helpful ! There are example video of controlling relay connected to door.
