Hello,
I am fairly new to electronics and I needed some advice with a project I am working on.
The image above is the wiring diagram of the setup. The 9V battery is not correct, instead the power supply is a Triad switching mode power supply that outputs 24V. The resistors are 10000 ohms if that's useful. The relay is a DO061B solid state relay. I am trying to actuate a two way solenoid valve that requires 24V. This is an older project that I am continuing to work on, so I am assuming the blue and green wires on the left connect to the solenoid but when I tried measuring the voltage across them it gave me 1.4 V (same across the red LED). I haven't written a script to actuate the solenoid on command through the Pi or anything yet, I am just trying to get the setup to work first. I am a bit confused how exactly the relay should be connected to the valve that has three prongs. If anyone could help me out that would be amazing.
