Hello all,
Thank you for checking out my first ever post.
I need some assistance and clarification if the attached circuit would work for my purpose.
The Circuit will control the movement of a Solenoid device named a Seep by the manufacturer, this is the device http://www.gaugemaster.com/instructions/pm1.pdf (and attached) which as you can see it has two coils which throw the bar from left or right.
I wish to use Arduino to control the circuit, allowing me to multiply and control 16 of these outputs (to 16 Seeps), I am likely to use the two Capacitors to supply the extra “oomph” to all 16, as it would be unlikely that no more than 4 would be actuated at any one time.
The theory is a DPDT Relay will be controlled via Arduino, it will charge a Capacitor which will then be used to “fire” the Solenoid according how the DPDT Relay is switched which will give it an extra "oomph".
The Relay is a 5v 1a Coil and then the Switch is rated 30v 10a (unfortunately I have put the wrong voltage on the diagram).
I have done some research and I have a funny suspicion that I may require further components but I would greatly appreciate any support or advice regarding my circuit!
Thank you all
