Hi All,
I am very new to this. I have a project idea for work and i need help figuring out the software and electrontic elements to this.
I would like to have 6x Solenoid Valves linked at a Computer which can be controlled from the computer using software such as Scratch (Open to other options). I would like all 6 solenoid valves to be connected via one USB slot and then from there the program to choose which one to open. The idea is for the solenoid valve to open to release liquid. An example of the basic function i want it to do is:
Open Solenoid 1
Wait 5 Seconds
Close Solenoid 1
Open Solenoid 4
Wait 12 Seconds
Close Solenoid 4.
Is this at all possible and if so what do i need to do to be able to control the solenoid valves independtly from the computer.
I am 18 and have limited knowledge about electrontics... Therefore simple language would be greatly appriciated. Please Help.
Thanks,
Tim
