I am currently working on a project that is using two solenoids that will pull and hold closed by the wave of a hand. The solenoids would hold closed until a hand is waved again max closed time would be around 3 mins. I am having trouble finding a sensor that will work with the solenoids that I am using.
The solenoids that I am using are BAOMAIN BM-Z05
12VDC
2A Current
I was hoping to be able to use something as simple as the hand wave sensors that are used for LED lights although I have been unable to find one that works properly or can handle the current.
I do have some experience with using Arduino but was hoping I could find a simpler solenoid controller or system, if Arduino is the simplest way to handle this, I would be willing to go that route.
Thanks in advance
