I need the RPI3 B+ GPIO to drive a 24V relay that turns on an AC resistive load.
Update:I hope the block diagram I attached earlier is now showing.
part numbers listed, but the mosfet is not working as expected. I think my implementation is incorrect because -the relay should be connected to the drain of the mosfet and not the source -even then the mosfet will not switch 2A, 24V to the relay, because then 24V will always be going to the relay
Question: How do I switch on/off 24V, 1A to the EM relay based on the RPI GPIO output?
Update: The 24V relay is fixed, I cannot replace it with a relay module with built in optocoupler.
Concept: Double the 12V suppply to 24V using voltage doubler.
