Re: Programming a 12V relay with Arduino

Quote:
We have a Arduino micro-controller with the robot open shield. We code to activate the relay, probably in PWM port 9, for a split second to give power to our solenoid to open and shoot the cannon.
Message me or send an email and we can help you get this running...what relays are you driving?

There are several that I know work well. A spike is also good option.

Just reach out and we'll gt this fixed.
