Would you like to contribute to this year's MK Advent Calendar? Here are the guidelines for authors, along with last year's edition for reference.

Now this is how you do clicky: Relays! There's nothing hooked up to them so they should last a really long time (millions of clicks!).

8-channel relays like this are usually around $5-10 each but in my testing I figured out that you really only need one, but two does the job a bit better. Three is just fine (but totally unnecessary).
