Did I mess up? SSR control
antonmi97:
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.

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

it is just like driving an LED, 20mA to be use it turns on
I don't see why you need all that stuff

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?
