I'm trying to design a circuit using a pic 16F877 which isn't too much of a problem, I've got an easypic 6 board
What I need is help with a circuit, I need the pic to switch a solenoid that will be in the car, and also possibly some relays
Will the circuit below work?
Or can anyone see any problems, or got any suggestions?
If I use a relay it will be in the position of the solenoid.
What is the max current this circuit could switch?
I "may" need to switch a circuit that can handle 10A so maybe a relay is best for this? in which case can I use the above circuit but use a relay instead of the solenoid?
Obviously I'd have to have a diode across the relay coil
Will I need a relay across the solenoid coil above?
Sorry for so many questions but I've not done any electronics like this for over 30 years now.
