Hi, I'm currently trying to design a circuit for a sequential gearbox operation. I will be controlling two sets of solenoids each set controlling a gearbox cable.
I will have 2 main inputs:
Input 1 - Gear up
Input 2 - Gear down
I will have 12 outputs each output operating the solenoids in a certain pattern to mimic a gear change. E.g. output 1 operates solenoid a & b, output 2 operates solenoid a&c... etc
My issue is i am currently having is working out how to create such a circuit, i've driven myself mad messing with flipflops and logic gates trying too find a solution. I'm not even sure a digital circuit is the easiest way and maybe i should use a PLC or a another form of control module?
Any help would be hugely appreciated, please go easy as i'm a bit of a noob. I have attached a flow chart of the whole operation.
I have lots more drawings and tables so i can upload those too if needs be.
Thanks Jonni
