Hi,
I am trying to control a water outlet and show simple text on an LCD. However, I see that the LCD text gets scrambled whenever the solenoid is turned on and off. I read a few posts on AC solenoids requiring snubber circuit, just wanted to know whether this will solve the LCD problem because I thought it is to save the contacts of relay against high voltage caused due to inductance. Below is the schema, relay is actually a HL-52 V1.0 module. I have tried to put in values for things that I know about the module, but alas I dont know values for most of the things in that module. AC supply for the solenoid is 230V at 50hz. Solenoid's power consumption is 8W. Thanks in advance.
