| Did I mess up? SSR control |

Hello everyone! This is my first forum post, and to be honest, I'm not really happy that I have to post this question, because it seems trivial. Anyhow, here we go. I am designing a SSR mains light controller board and I want to controll the SSR with a GPIO of my ESP8266. The SSR is the AQH3213 http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1682136.pdf?_ga=2.232540383.1564095963.1554464329-1879432376.1547653567 I did this And I'm not sure if it will work. Can anyone clear things up a bit for me? |

Missing some needed connection in your schematic ... U2 / pin (4) == cathode of the opto-LED should be tied to ground or you have a floating circuit. /PeLuLe |

It’s just hidden. All GND pins in my schematic are hidden and connected to the GND net. The only thing worrying me is if the SSR will even turn on. I tried turning a LED on (that works), but I’m not sure I understand what it takes to turn on the SSR (I don’t understand it’s datasheet). Any help is appreciated |

I thought so too, but I wasn’t sure. So you think it would work with just directly connecting a GPIO pin (with a current limiting resistor) to the VCC pin of the SSR? I don’t need a voltage divider? |
