Hello guys, im having some troubles with a solenoid that im trying to control
im trying to make a solenoid oscillate using a 555 timer, the timer output goes to tip31c and it controls a relay, when i dont connect the solenoid, everything works as how i want, at 1hz, the relay activates at the speed it should be, but when i connect the solenoid, it starts to oscillate at a high frecuency as well as the relay, both start to oscillate at a high speed, anyone knows what is happening?
both relay and solenoid has their own flyback diode, the power supply is 12v 2amps capable, the solenoid is 12v 200mA, it does work ok, ive tested it without the 555 timer, im trying to use it as a piston to move a little box.
any known of what is happening?
