Hello,
I am making a teasmaid as a project. Part of the system uses a solenoid valve which requires 26V AC where as the solenoid control circuit requires 6V DC. I am trying to come up with a simple power transformation solution. Ideally I would like mains directly into the device and to split it within the device, transforming and rectifying one whilst only transforming the other. Should I make my own transformers or are there good cheap ones I could incorporate in my system?
Any help on this issue would be most appreciated.
