RE: RASPBERRY PI + RELAY GPIO DONT WORK

Get around for Arduino Only Relay – Part 1
I agree. Let me use the 5V high level trigger relay module KY019 as an example.
KY019 High Trigger Relay Module Spec

1. Rpi GPIO High signal of about 3V at the input terminal of the module drives the PNP BJT SS8050, with a current of about 5mA .
2. SS8050 amplifies the 5mA current to about 50mA and switches on the Songle 5V relay.
3. Songle relay NO terminal is now closed, passing 5/12/24/110/220V DC/AC current of up to 10A to turn on fan, heater etc, …
So far so good, it is only the mirror image twin sister of KY019, Low level trigger, using PNP BJT, that causes all the trouble, and make so many miserable Rpi relay newbies weeping in the dark, …
