Microcontroller Driven Safety Socket w/Remote Control for Your Lab

A safety socket is a hazard preventing feature for your lab bench when testing devices connected to mains. This project started simple but, hey why doing this simple when I can do it much more complex? :) So I used a microcontroller in place of a single relay to manage all the cool features this remotely controlled safety socket sports. A blinking pilot light indicates when the socket is on, and more lights indicates other statuses of what we can now call the "smart" safety socket. The most important feature is that when power is out, the socket turns off automatically, preventing risks when the power comes in again. This project has been amended with some changes that I've shown in this video: https://youtu.be/gZ-LT26VJbg Please watch it for the required corrections. This project is a must have in your electronics lab if you happen to tweak with devices that have to be plugged to the mains. CAUTION Working on mains voltage could cause serious damages and kill living beings, including you. ** You MUST know what you do. ** Any showcased solution may fail, if you replicate it you will do it at your own sole risk. I shall take no liabilities. Full series of #Electronics: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwbCeSU2Kq_zORt4un2iQ3JUYxzWF3cTJ Visit the website: https://accidentalscience.com
