Hello everyone,
Hope I'm in the right place here.
I do have the exact same problem as Bloxlox. Connecting a 12V 16 Relay Board to a Raspberry Pi B+.
Then i used following commands in terminal:
*> gpio mode 0 out // Relay switched
*> gpio write 0 0 // nothing happend
*> gpio write 0 1 // nothing happend
I also got a 16 channel relay board. Like the one here: http://www.dx.com/nl/p/7034-16-channel-12v-relay-module-board-w-power-lm2576-light-coupling-protection-blue-183372
This board has a 12V power connection. There are 2 pins 5V and 2 pins GND. Relay Board Pins: http://i.imgur.com/znhxSiK.png RasPi GPIO Pins: http://i.imgur.com/bLAYYpN.png
I powered the board with an external 12V adapter.
Relay Name PIN <-> PIN Name RPI
5V 1 <-> 2 5V
5V 2 <-> 4 5V
1 3 <-> 11 GPIO 0
2 4 <-> 12 GPIO 1
3 5 <-> 13 GPIO 2
4 6 <-> 15 GPIO 3
5 7<-> 16 GPIO 4
6 8 <-> 18 GPIO 5
7 9 <-> 22 GPIO 6
8 10 <-> 7 GPIO 7
9 11 <-> 3 GPIO 8
10 12 <-> 5 GPIO 9
11 13 <-> 24 GPIO 10
12 14 <-> 26 GPIO 11
13 15 <-> 19 GPIO 12
14 16 <-> 21 GPIO 13
15 17 <-> 23 GPIO 14
16 18 <-> 8 GPIO 15
GND 19 <-> 6 Ground
GND 20 <->20 Ground
The strange thing is... when connecting the 5V Relay Bord pins to the 3.3V RasPi pins, it looks like it is working as it should be. I'm not sure this is the way it is supposed to work.
