Hello, I am fairly new to Arduino, but am looking for a solenoid that will be connected to common manufacturing plant air pressure ~19psi, and all I need it to do is open for about 0.3 seconds when a command is given in Arduino (to blow something off a resting block), and then close when the value is switched back down to 0. My question is, am I able to do this with just an Arduino and a specific air solenoid, or do I need an external device like a relay to control it, also, I am no electrical engineer, so determining what the circuit needs to be composed of (resistors, diodes, etc..) is also a challenge for me. Please let me know your thoughts and thank you.
Strange plant! My plant air pressure was 120psi. Sometimes regulated down to other pressures. If this is not dry air, you will need a stainless steel valve to keep from rusting.
