hello,
I try to control 4 pneumatic solenoids with the Arduino mega.
I have all the equipment for the pneumatic system.
When I drive just one of the pneumatic solenoid coil another solenoid also respond.
The program is easy just drive the output digital pin to high voltage.
Anyone else having such a problem?
Does anyone have advice about operate pneumatic solenoids with Arduino mega?
Thank you!
Hi and welcome.
Your question is hard to answer because you didn't tell anything about how you connected these solenoids.
You need to use something more than just the Mega's output pin to control that solenoid.
How long are the leads to the solenoids, and are the leads to all solenoids running in parallel ?
Show some schematics and a photograph.
And while you're at it, post that sketch of yours (as easy as it is, an error can occur anyway), using [code] [/code] tags.
Hello,
You need to tell us much more about the interface between Arduino and the solenoids.
See information about controlling power with Arduino on the ArduinoInfo.Info WIKI HERE:
And there is information about power interference problems HERE:
Draw a schematic with pen & paper and post a photo of it.
You also need to post datasheets or vendor links for the solenoids.
