Eblock relay turn on/off on reset

Hi,

when powering on the panda the relay turns on and off for a second

How can i avoid this issue?

pullup or pulldown resistors, to pull the IO line to the appropriate direction that you want.

thanks now i understand about pull down/up resistor…

but how do i use one with an eblock relay

How do you connect your relay block right now? Do you use 3-pin E-Block Component Shield?

omartinez · November 21, 2011, 2:42pm

yes

omartinez · November 21, 2011, 3:32pm

i mean that yes i use 3-pin E-Block Component Shield

so how can i do this with the eblock?

or i’ve to mod the eblock (that’s cut the cable to add the resistor)?

Lets say you use Di0 socket. Then you need to solder the resistor from Di0 pin in the header area to GND for pull-down for example.
