Hi guys and gals, a have a basic electronics knowledge but nothing special so bear with me!
I have a solenoid that triggers on a 5v input. However the 'trigger' for this is a voltage that is off at 0.17v and on at 0.3v
I assume I need a form of relay in the middle that will take the trigger voltage, a steady 5v and then output the 5v to the solenoid when the trigger goes from low (0.17v) to high (0.3v)
The triggers are low voltages as they come from a radio receiver, is there some kind of programmable relay that can be set to what voltage to trigger on?
Or do I need to increase my trigger voltage? if so how?
Or is my knowledge so poor that this is completely the wrong approach!
Thanks in advance,
Dave
