Controlling high voltage switch via esp32c3

Hi, @xnemox

You had a solution to a similar circuit here;

Esp32 solenoid control problem

Hi everyone. I'm trying to assemble esp32 based controller for 12V solenoid valve. Everything works when solenoid-valve is powered through 12V adapter, but when I'm trying to power it via boost-converter (boost is used because all consumers - esp32, OLED, segment display, sensors, etc are 5V), it seems to have not enough power to operate, instead of full open-close cycle, it makes short twitch . I've used voltmeter to check output voltage on boost converter output, it's 12 V. I'm fairly new t…

Can't yo use that circuit?

Tom..
