DC voltage (V)

• When switching a resistive load (DC1) having voltage and current

values under the curve, an electrical life of ≥ 100 · 103 can be
expected.
• In the case of DC13 loads, the connection of a diode in parallel with
the load will permit a similar electrical life as for a DC1 load.
Note: the release time for the load will be increased.

Getting "Started Guide"

Getting started - IDE
If you want to program your 8A.04 while offline you need to install the Arduino Desktop IDE.
To connect the 8A.04 to your computer, you’ll need a USB-C cable. This also provides power to the board, as indicated by the LED.
https://opta.findernet.com/en/tutorial/getting-started
Getting started - Arduino Web Editor
All Arduino boards, including this one, work out-of-the-box on the Arduino Web Editor, by just installing a simple plugin.
The Arduino Web Editor is hosted online, therefore it will always be up-to-date with the latest features and support for all boards. Follow to start coding
on the browser and upload your sketches onto your board.
https://opta.findernet.com/en/#software
Getting started - Arduino IoT Cloud
All Arduino IoT enabled products are supported on Arduino IoT Cloud which allows you to Log, graph and analyze sensor data, trigger events, and
automate your home or business. H
Online resources
Now that you have gone through the basics of what you can do with the board you can explore the endless possibilities it provides by checking exciting
projects on ProjectHub and the Arduino Library Reference
https://opta.findernet.com/en/
Board Recovery
All Arduino boards have a built-in bootloader which allows flashing the board via USB. In case a sketch locks up the processor and the board is not
reachable anymore via USB it is possible to enter bootloader mode by double-tapping the reset button right after power up.
