solenoid protection purchase
I want to purchase solenoids from you, (5 V, $4.95) will you determine which resistors, diodes, and transistors will be needed to protect the circuits for me? (using Arduino)

Re: solenoid protection purchase
We'd need more information to say anything specific.
What solenoid do you want to use, what do you want to do with it, and what will you use as a power supply?

Re: solenoid protection purchase
Mike, thank you for helping me. It is Adafruit product # 2776.
Rated Voltage: 5V
Current (at DC 5V): 1.1A
DC Resistance: 4.5 ± 5% Ω
I will be running ten solenoids at different times, never two at the same time, none exceeding 2 seconds energized. The source is an ac/dc transformer.

Re: solenoid protection purchase
For that one, you'll probably find it easiest to use TB6612 breakouts to control the solenoid power:

Each breakout can control two solenoids, and will take control signals from a microcontroller's GPIO pins.
