Toggle Circuit with Pause

A micro controller would be ideal for doing this. You could however use a 555 timer running at 1Hz, a 4017 decade counter and a 4072 dual four input OR gate. The waveform can be sliced into 10 sectio …

What is the the purpose of the capacitor in this relay circuit?

The data sheet for that relay - https://www.mouser.co.uk/datasheet/2/307/en-g6k-348800.pdf Shows that it is a latching relay. … The capacitor will allow a pulse of current to the relay coil to activate the latch, but will then block the DC. Once latched no further current will be drawn. …

Wiring to control 12V relay (SRD-12VDC-SL-C) manually

Connect the module as in the edited picture below and see if it works. The module may need a 12v supply, but will more than likely trigger from a 5v input from the raspberry pi.

Trying to pull a pin on my Gates control board down to GND without a relay

You should be using an NPN transistor if you are expecting it to work the same as your relay version in your schematic. … You should check how much current is being drawn through the relay contacts when they are closed and the voltage across them when open to ensure you choose a transistor that can take the voltage and current …

Does two different regulators act as different power supplies for MCU and Relays

It could be that your transformer is not capable of supplying the current needed to turn all of the relays on. When you try to turn them on, the voltage probably drops enough for the MCU to Brown-out …
