Hey guys!
I need some help programming a pneumatic FESTO magnetic valve for a school project.
It has to extend, then retract on command. I just need to get started, anyone who can help?
Thanks

Would you care to provide us with a link to said item?
Here is the datasheet.

A link to information about this device would be a good start.
@mauerman, please do not cross-post.
From the pdf:
Characteristic coil data 24V DC: 1,28W
Permissible voltage fluctuation -15 % / +10 %
So it's like driving 2 24v relays (just not at the same time please), try searching for relay driver circuit (either here or google:relay driver circuit - Google Search) and start hunting for a 24v power supply.
It's worth learning, since the same style of circuit can drive a DC motor, stepper motor, etc. (as long as it can handle the current) Then it's no harder than blinking an LED or two.
