I've got a question for those of you who've tried 5v relays to control LEDs with the joe jedi.
I want to run my joe jedi off of 4 NiMH batts, which would give me 4.8v. Since I'm extremely noobish when dealing with such complicated and confuzzling things like that new-fangled eckeltrisity...would that be enough to trip a 5v relay? I know that fresh off the charger, the batts would give off more like 5.1v or something...but what's bothering me is once the voltage drops off to 4.8v, does the relay switch off?
