    I used to learn machine and assembly code programming in college. After getting RPi I was thinking of starting automation programming again. Your tutorial definitely helped me and you explained everything so simple and clear. I am looking forward to seeing more videos like this from you. thank you sir for your good work.
  • @calebmallen
    Thank you for explaining the JD-VCC/VCC jumper pins. I'm new to this stuff, and I was trying to figure out what to do with that.
  • @justjuu
    As a newbie to RPi I appreciate your explanation of the functions of the commands very much. E.g. that the GPIO.cleanup() is needed to free the resources such as the pin number reservations. I also like your explanatory handwriting while speeking. The 5 - 3.7 = 1.3 V point related to the supply voltages was easy to follow. Thank you for this video!

    "For the single channel relay, don't use 5v, use 3v." this little statement made my whole project come together. thank you.

    I've been thinking about a project and your video has helped me out together some of the part #s I will need to look for. Excellent video your english is awesome too.
  • @tinbadger8097
    Appreciate that you physically show the wiring up and go through it slowly. Thank you
  • @cyko2328
    This is the explanation I needed , everyone just expects you to know what the vcc is jumper is for.
  • @marco6ocram
    Really well explained. Thank you very much.
  • @SakuMatto
    That is exactly the right amount of detail and b/g to make it click in my head. Definitely the best of several videos on this subject.
  • @DennisDamenNL
    Thank you. You solved the issue I had. My relays only switched on but never off. Your jumper trick fixed it!
  • @PaulClifford
    Thank you SOOOO much. I hadn't heard the part about JDVCC and VCC and the jumper before and that was all I needed to get the relays to work reliably.
  • @JeffsTravels
    finally some detail for these relays under 3.3 volt control. Appreciated.
  • @RodionEdge
    I just achieved to connect my RPi to a relay thanks to your explanations and it works perfectly, exactly like it does in your video. I feel I learned something valuable so I have to warmly thank you !! :)
  • @kneadedmassage9751
    BEST video and information on wiring up a pi to a 5v relay. I am going to try it tomorrow! thank YOU! It works perfectly.
  • @adonis9555
    yo this is literally the best explanation of this i could ask for. lol all the other videos were not giving me the explanations to the parts of the relay switch and how it ACTUALLY OPERATES!!!! god lol thankyou Saravan AL for sharing your knowledge.
  • @hannahlambdaa
    Thank you Saravanan. Much appreciated. Good luck with your projects!
  • @Brindles69
    Very educational! thank you for this! Just started playing with relays with my Pi and this clears up a lot of questions for me:)
