PS_ON usage

One of this can work? I use with raspberry pi for led lights
-
Looks like there is an optocoupler? Do you have a link?
-
Search some like arduino relay module.

If you use the flyback diode, as its still a mechanical relay with a magnetic coil which can shunt a whack of voltage back when de-energised. Check the coil voltage you'll need to supply the positive side of the coil with the right voltage for the duet to switch the negative side of the coil. 5v or 3.3v coil probably makes sense in terms of being able to get the supply easily.

The above boards seems to have an optocoupler, so no need to use a flyback diode on the Duet side. It is already included on the board, after the optocoupler, on the relay side (I think it is D2).

Do you use the board finally?
-
Non, I don't control my power supply yet…
-
I will try to use the same for emule a button connected to one rpi gpio. Waiting the script now
-
the whole fly back diode is confusing to me. I am using this relay http://modtronix.com/mod-rly2-5v.html and on that page it looks like the schematic has a diode. I have a 1N4001 diode on hand do i want to add it. If so where.

That's a relay module, not just a relay, so you don't need to use a flyback diode with it.
