I am trying to rapidly turn a solenoid on and off. I would like to do it at 5-10 Hz. If I understand correctly that should be 5-10 on/off cycles per second. Currently I have a switch mounted in a small project box from radio shack and when I turn the switch on, the solenoid activates. That is pretty much the limit of my knowledge which is why I'm here. I also will not know alot of the abbreviations that many of you may use, so please explain on an beginner level. I contacted an electronics store the other day and the guy told me I need a 24V pulse relay, but that there were other ways to do it. He could not tell me how to build the relay, where to buy one, or how to set the frequency. I would like to be able to adjust the frequency, but I can manage without that. Can anyone help?
Thanks
