Hello everyone,
I have a small rotary solenoid that I am looking to use as a shutter in a xenon light source. I am an ME by trade so as you can imagine I don't know much about solenoids. The solenoid operates at 12 VDC and has a coil resistance of 275Ohms. I need to activate the solenoid by a switch to "close" the shutter and then "open" the shutter by pressing the switch again.
I guess my question is how simply can this done, will I need a solenoid driver?
Thank you,
Chris
