Hi,
I have ripped apart a solenoid I found which controls water flow. I can't find out anything about it on the internet and there is no part number on it. However its part of a Gardena T14e water timer which switches on and off the water at pre-set times.
I tried to get readings from the unit when it sent messages to the solenoid...however my multi meter just picked up a very low V spike - I'm guessing that the signal may have been digital????
Anyway I blew up the unit during my testing
so now I'm really in the cart. The unit has a microcontroller in it that runs at 5V and I'm guessing this drove the solenoid. Does anyone know of any data that will drive the solenoid? Really hoping someone has had experiance with these and can say what normal things are I should try.
Thanks heaps,
Craig
