I'm working on a computer controlled kegerator (similar to the one at wiki.kegbot.org) and need to control a 120VAC solenoid. It needs a few hundred mA at 120VAC, so I got some suitable relays.
I'm mostly worried about the AC screwing with the microcontroller and other parts. Can it cause interference, etc.
Also, would it be a really bad idea to try running the AC on a breadboard for prototyping? The relays don't have quick connects so it's either that or soldering to the pins.
Thanks
