Hello guys, I need to make a project for school add I decided to build a little distributor. Things should work like this: (all bottles just be connected to solenoids via little tubes that will end to fill a glass) If I press button1 open solenoid 1, 2, 3 for x,y,z seconds(delayable) If I press button2 open solenoid 2, 3 for x and Y seconds And do on... Is it possible with Arduino Due?
I recently bought a motor shield but it went like this
What you want to do is perfectly possible, no problems.
However would suggest you first write all your code and test it out via the serial monitor and use simple leds on the output ports to simulate the solenoids.
Then come back to the forum for advice on how to drive the solenoids, which means you need to provide full details of the electrical parameters of the solenoids.
As for your earlier motor problems, hard to say what / how things really happened.
What I would suggest is that you put the Due to one side for now and get a cheap Uno as thats a lot more compatible with all the beginner work you are trying to do, and most importantly it is a true 5V device, so compatible with most Arduino type hardware.
The bad thing is that i am kind of noob on the coding, thats a huge problem.
And i cant find anything similiar on the web
Hi,
What solenoid valves are you using?
Can you post a link to the valves?
Do do you know how to drive them using a MOSFET on each solenoid?

I bought none yet, I'd like to be sure how which one to buy (if you know some, can you like me to the seller page?)
Also no, i dont know yet, i could ask at school
