Hi,
For a project I need two things. First I need to show the power draw with a push / pull solenoid. I think this will be easy to do since I can just use an ammeter and connect the solenoid to a DC supply.
The second thing is I need to move the solenoid in and then out very quickly, say at least 10 times a second. Is there a very simple circuit I could build which will allow me to do this, perhaps without having to program a PIC?
