[chbot] USB relay board?

[Nathan Kennedy]

Those relay boards are really good. I'm running two of them (total of 8
outputs) for my irrigation system.

They run quite happily on the 5V rail from the Arduino (providing the power
source is semi-decent - I'm using a 1A USB power adapter). I was able to
turn on all eight outputs and also power an EtherTen (Freetronics Arduino
board with onboard ethernet) running Teleduino without a hitch.

Thanks,
Nathan.
