Hi all,im working on a project for a drink carbonating machine,basicaly i have to turn on and off 3 solenoids in sequence ,but need to be able to experiment with the timing of the duration of the on time between them,im looking at trying to use a variation of the bink program,now the big but can i use the sketch to control the solenoids from 1x uno,im ok with driving mosfets etc to power the solenoids,any idea how to do this?,cheers in advance m3vuv.
Sounds fine - need to post up your attempt
Right now, use LEDs with series resistors connected to the pins you are going to use for the solenoids. Get the program turning the LEDs on and off to your satisfaction.
Then you must identify the solenoids and their parameters for operation, voltage, current.

i know all that just need a sketch to do it,thats where i fall down as havent a clue,can i just copy the blink swketch and paste it x3 into the sketch window,it just needs to run one after the other,then repeat when the reset button is pressed.
Clues occur naturally when you learn step-by-step. There is no learning when you jump into something and then expect someone to pull you out. There are lots of sample programs in the IDE for you to play with and learn from.

the issue is i dont have the time,the job has been trust on me without warning,its needed for a working prototype for funding,what will take me days should take a matter of minuets for someone who knows what there doing.,regards Paul m3vuv.

The I suggest you ask the moderator to move your thread to "gigs" and be willing to pay someone to do this for you.

Help and doing the work for you are not the same. People here are more than willing to help people, if they are willing to do the work.
