i have a circuit i made. It includes a 12v battery a small switch and a linear solenoid. im using it to forcefully trip a sear pin in a paintball gun. my problem is the setup is very direct. If you hold down the switch the solenoid stays in a excited state.I need the circuit to stop supplying energy to the solenoid after like a split second or so(even if the switch is still being held)and then when the switch is released the system resets ready to trigger the solenoid again. because if the solenoid is on for to long it makes the recocking mechanism malfunction.im really stumped here because my understanding of electronics is limited to on/off circuits.if anyone can help plz?
