I was hoping that someone here could point me in the right direction for this project...
I am building a home arcade cabinet set-up to use with my light gun games and I want to add a recoil solenoid.
My 12v (nominal) solenoid is currently wired to a micro switch so it activates once when the switch is pressed. I want to make it so it rapidly cycles on and off approximately 12 times per second when I hold the micro switch. I was hoping that someone here can tell me the simplest method of achieving this?
In case it isn't obvious, I'm new to electronics projects like this. I don't have any programing skills and I don't know what all the symbols mean on other people's circuit diagrams. But.... I can follow simple (and specific) instructions and I can solder.
