Right now im on the 40 ms setting. And sometimes ive got it on/off every box.

So it can go as fast as 15 ms

But you would wear it out that much faster.

Spec says electrical 100000 cycles / 1200 an hour

If I did the math right that would be ~66 times a second

~3960 a minute. You would electrically use up the contacts in 25 minutes.

Your mileage may vary. :?

well im not even getting close to 66 times a second. its ten times a second that im pulling

~66 times a second would be ~15ms.

Ten times a second would equate to 100 ms. If you have it set to 40ms then there must be some overhead in the circut, port etc.

I have one of these boards for a different project. Its event based so I do not need fast switching. I'm using the relays I posted the link on.

well there is 20 boxes per second. I mean that i can turn it on off once, ten times a second.
