Just got one more sub.. Just started researching arduino based projects. Love how you explained the part you are adding in depth. 🤙🏻

thanks! more to come soon, got any feedback on how the video was edited? and do you have an projects you'd like to see? like the one we just did? (RFID + servo = homemadedoor lock)

Whats the thinnest gauge of wire i can use to activate the solenoid?
@JasonGolden793 ай бұрын
Great video, I have a use case I'm wondering if you have experience with. I have an Opal Ice maker that I would like to use an air pressure sensor to control a solenoid to manage its water level. Smaller scale than this arrangement. I don't have experience with Arduino, or these types of sensors. I'm looking for guidance on the best way to accomplish this. It's a common use case with these popular ice makers. I think this arrangement could create a retro fit for ice makers that could be easy to install and fail safe. Any suggestions on how I accomplish this?

Im not sure how these Opal ice makers work, but you can also do a water level sensor with a shutoff switch to make your life way easier no?

Please give a link to the solenoid, tube size converter, and pump. I want to buy exact device that you use. Just subscribed.

what relay module do i need? I am making the exact same system as you but I am unclear on what relay to buy. On amazon I see a bunch that are 5v relays but it is not clear to me if that is the one I need as I am using a 12v power supply like you
@MikaelAbehsera5 ай бұрын
Usually the have 2 different voltage numbers, one is for the controlling part and one for the actually relay circuit, so those Amazon 5v ones need 5v to trigger on or off but can handle a different level of power on the circuit side, hopefully that makes sense !

The only issue with those valves is you cant hold them open indefinitely, they overheat eventually.

True, I’ll be doing this video again with some bigger ones in the future to see how much damage we can do and see the numbers/results

How long can they stay open before it becomes a problem.. would 15 minutes to 1 hour be ok ?

@@danielleekirkpatrick8579 I haven’t tested that out yet, but I’ve was thinking of just connecting a servo to a Manual block off and then it wouldn’t ever burn

Can the solenoid open partially to let the flow of water be set to a lower amount? If not, can you suggest some alternatives and also make a video on how to connect that?
@MikaelAbehsera3 ай бұрын
no unfortunatly, I think the best option would be to use it in steps, like on 3 seconds and off 3 seconds, but if you want super control you would have to make a solenoid with some actuating door that you can control the percent of how open it is

Why my solenoid valve is not working?
@MikaelAbehsera8 ай бұрын
Check wiring
@nurulainaabintiahmadshukri74948 ай бұрын
If i connect the solenoid straight to the power supply its working, but if i connect it to relay its not working. I'm using 2 relay module with esp8266. Is it because it didn't get enough voltage?@@MikaelAbehsera
@MikaelAbehsera8 ай бұрын
@nurulainaabintiahmadshukri7494 I’m not sure but I would check the code and wiring, if you know that the solenoid works, then go to the next part the relay, figure out why it’s not working
