I'm designing my first project with the Picaxe microprocessor (18M2) & need advice on a solenoid valve. It needs to control compressed air and will feed a wind instrument, like a recorder or whistle. The Picaxe documentation mentions isonic solenoids? I found a line of solenoids by that name by Mead Fluid Dynamics, but they don't seem to be available to the hobbyist. Could anyone recommend a suitable valve for this kind of application? If possible I would like to be able to control the amount of air rather than just open or closed.
Also, i like using salvaged parts in my projects, although not typically for the electronics. If there are suitable solenoids commonly used somewhere, like in vehicles perhaps, please let me know. Thanks!!
Thank you for your time,
