From my previous posts, most of you knew i was working on a solenoid activated paintball marker board replacement. Well, other than the fact that I am missing the right size capacitor (2200uf 16v) and that I destroyed one of my spare solenoids with a solder gun accident, it's working! I put in...

Hello all, still working on my first real project with the PICAxe system. I'm loving it so far. Right now, I have two goals. Primary goal: power a solenoid (it can be a small solenoid, it just needs to work) and picaxe from a 9v battery. seconadry goal: minimal PCB configuration. once i...

I have a solenoid that I would like to use using a picaxe. whenever somebody presses a button, the solenoid needs to activate, and then disengage. The solenoid needs 9v to run properly, but from what I understand, the PICAXE can only run 5v out of it's output line. How can I run 9v to the...
