* Arduino Powerswitch

Documentation and implementation of a power switch controlled by an arduino

** The Idea

Any regular powerswitch has to be controlled by hand.

I wanted to make one that can be controlled programmatically so I started this project.

Note: When I started this, I knew next to nothing about electronics.

I got most of the information from advice I got from an electronics store owner.

** Requirements

*** Required Software

    - Dia (only if you want to make the diagrams, the svg files are included in this repository)

    - Arduino SDK (to upload the programs to your arduino)

*** Required Materials

    - An arduino (Arduino one)

    - A resistor (10K)

    - A transistor (MOSFET BS170)

    - A relay

    - A diode (1N4007)

    - A powerstrip

    - Soldering materials
