    Relay on MK3/4DRV

    Hi,

    Is it possible to directly connect an 5V relay (70mA) to output 1,2 or 6?
    - Is the board capable of supplying the needed current?
    - Do I need to protect the output? (Fly-Back diode?)

    I think taking an arduino single relay board with opto is good solution, there is separate power supply for it, no harm to MB

    Controller is not capable of driving relays directly.
