input/output question from Newbee

Hello,

I am totally new to the Arduino and I have a question.

Question:
I have a digital input(photoelectric sensor) it will be tripped, then I need to output a 12-24vdc+ pulse(5-10ms), I have to pulse 50 times(like a PLC Drum function) for that one input. Is this possible with the Arduino??

Thanks

Matt

The Arduino can output a pulse, by toggling a pin on and off.

It can do it any number of times.

What it can't do is output a 12 to 24V pulse, since it is a 5V device. It could, however, output that pulse to a transistor that turned a 12 to 24V source on and off.

More information about the sensor and load would be helpful...
