    SIngle Capacitor providing reversing pulse for latching solinoid

    Its 12 volts so if the coil is 5 ohms (which seems very low?) it must be drawing 2.4 amps, which is probably why the circuit won't work. I did play with a couple of mosfets, 1 P-Channel and the other N-Channel.  I managed to get them to latch and delatch the Solinoid individually but could not...

    SIngle Capacitor providing reversing pulse for latching solinoid

    I thought as 1 transistor was NPN and the other PNP only one would be on at a time as the base input was alternated between VCC and G? Regarding the relay.  It is a latching solinoid that takes a short pulse to latch and a similar but reverse polarity pulse to unlatch.  I am struggling to find...

    SIngle Capacitor providing reversing pulse for latching solinoid

    Hello, I am building a timmer control for an irrigator and need to control a latching solinoid.  I am using latching as the system must be powered by batteries (and I am trying to avoid the additional cost of solar).  I have many times created simple switched control of the solinoids that...
