hi guys!
i am trying to activate a pnumatic solanoid valve with arduino. i am useing a very basic design that is from this web page https://www.bc-robotics.com/tutorials/controlling-a-solenoid-valve-with-arduino/ i must point out the solanoid is not the one on that page.
i am useing the items it says on that page, though i did order TP120's it appears the things that came are IRLZ34N im not sure if thats the same thing or not.
useing a 7.4 lipo it works correctly at 40PSI however it needs to work at much higher pressures.
at 80 PSI useing a 14.8v battery it semi works. it needs 20 or so activations and each acticvation the valve works better until it works. (again it needs to work much higher)
if the valve is not activated again within a few secconds it will need aditional activations untill it works. i have a video here
plugging the batterys directly in to the soanoid opens it correctly, so it seems as there is something in the design thats preventing power from propperly going to it, or is cutting the power of the battery. can you help?
thanks for your time
