Solenoid valve hooked up to Einsy Board (MKS3)
Hey guys first time poster here ... I wanted to see if you could help me tackle this problem that I am having.
I want to connect this 12V solenoid valve to my MK3s Einsy board so that I can use g-code to turn ON/OFF this solenoid valve.
The big picture idea is to have the solenoid valve replace the "extruder motor" or "print fan" so I can easily turn on/off the valve with the "E" or "M106" g-code command. Of course, I would have to generate a 12V signal (and roughly around 400-500 mA) to open the solenoid valve.
As you can see, I am not "printing" anything ... I want to have the xyz control but be able to use the gcode to simultaneously actuate my solenoid valve."
Any ideas?
Thanks!
