I have asked questions before about relays but I still have more questions!
I am wondering if I can control a relay with other means than a bs2?
where can I find a tutorial on relays and controling things with them?
I am ultimatly trying to control electronic items such as lights in my house.

    Try this for starters en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay and check out the industrial controls pdf on the parallax site.

    JayGuy -

    One of the best methods for controlling the lights in a house is by using the X-10 remote control system. The system can be used manually, automatically with a timer, or through the use of a computer or Stamp microcontroller. The options are endless.

    Two places you may want to look to learn more about the X-10 System are:

    www.x10.com

    and

    www.smarthome.com
