I need to solar power my project, but the arduino output pin doesn't give enough juice, so I'm going to put a TIP120 and a SPST relay. The relay circuit will power a 12V solenoid momentarily, so it only needs to be on for about 3 seconds if conditions are met. But my problem is, can I power the arduino with the 12V power supply AND power the solenoid separate?
