    You may have a faulty board. Try hooking it up to a 5v power supply and see if you get a relay operating with 5v from the same supply. Some boards I have switch the relay on with 0v and off with 5v. Also check the jumpers.

    Actually ignore my last post...if your relay board is the same as mine, from recollection the 5V from your driving IO pin, doesn't energize the relay directly, but does so via a tranny/fet. Are you supplying the relay board with a separate 5V supply?

    BOB is supplied with 24v, relay board with 5v. I use different supplies for galvanic isolation of BOB, sensors,etc.

    Boyan Can you show just how you are connecting the relay to the board you might have to connect the -ve grounds to each other.

    He will definitely need to connect the two boards PSU 0V rails together, else all he'll have is two independent supplies with their respective 0Vs floating wrt one another. As mentioned in my last post, my relay board uses a FET/tranny on the input ...the switching/control voltage does not drive the relay coil direct. Therefore if your board is like mine, the notion that the "Pokeys57CNC does not output enough current on output 5v pins to switch a external relay" a misnomer (the input impedance of the relay board will likely be extremely high so will sink very little current at all)

    Guys, so i have BOB powered by separate 24VDC PSU and relay board powered by 5VDC PSU. Both grounds are connected/the earth, the body.

    So you say now i need to connect the together the 2 - /minus / pins of both the PSUs?

    Makes sense though i have never done that before on other boards and they worked
