Well my relay is finally here!  There is, however, one problem. The relay is marked in Chinese characters and I cannot read Chinese..

I’ve recruited the help of some of my Chinese friends in order to translate the device.  What we’ve gathered is that the left most channel says open and the right most channel says closed.  The middle channel is illegible, but I think I can look up common designs of relays in order to guess what it may say.  When I finally translate it (after waiting months for it to ship) I’ll be able to begin my project.

It seems like my Arduino hasn’t left its drawer in weeks, which is true.  I am excited to get back into it and hopefully making something awesome.  I must remember that the point of the Arudino is to impress potential employers in order to get an internship. By the career fair next year I’ll have made the coolest invention ever.  I’m excited to get to work again!
