This is an SPI Interface multichannel relay board for high voltage AC or low voltage DC loads. It is ideal for controlling LEDs lights, coffee machines, fans, pumps, or other high-voltage electrical appliances. The board also breaks out the SPI header, so controlling other boards is still possible. Each relay can handle current up to 7A @ 250V AC/30V DC. This 8 x channel board is mainly designed for AC loads, but it can also drive DC loads, screw terminals on each channel enable the easy interface of the AC load, and each point is marked as AC-Live and AC Neutral. Refer to the connection diagram for the interface. The project consists of 8 x 12V relays with load capacity 7A @ 250V AC, ULN2803 8 channel relay driver, 74HC595 SPI to 8 output, 5V regulator 7805, power LED, screw terminals for loads and AC input, header connector for SPI input and output.

SPI Interface: 6-pin header CN11 is provided for data input and CN10 connector is the SPI output that can be interfaced with multiple boards.
We have created and tested a large-size 7-segment display with this board and an Arduino. Arduino example code is available as a download. Wiring between Arduino vs SPI 8 channel board as follows:
Arduino Code Credits: http://www.learnerswings.com
Each segment is made using 20W LED Batten (LED Tube Light) with Dimensions 113.5 x 2.8 x 6.8 cm, which works with 230V AC supply, user may use a smaller batten.
The project is tested with a single 7-segment display, but the user may use multiple displays with multiple boards, and use SPI outputs for other boards.
