Thank you for this, it is very useful. I’m a complete newbie to electronics and arduino, but am working on a project that needs to operate a solenoid by a remote control. Is that possible? Many thanks. Mark
Very useful. Thanks for this video. Getting aspiration to learn Arduino. From where u ordered these products. 1 Arduino, 1 Breadboard, 1 Solenoid (or 1 motor), 6 cables, 1 transistor IRF520, 1 diode 1N4007, 1 resistor of 330 ohm, 1 resistor of 2.2k ohm.
Excellent tutorial! Is it possible to connect six 5v solenoid with an arduino working all together at the same time? I'm working on a Braille project for donate to blind kids. I hope you can help me. Thanks!
I note you are powering the solenoid via the Arduino power supply (USB). Does the solenoid draw too many Watts on the inrush current for the capability of the USB power? Would a separate power feed to the breadboard and the IRF520 be a more cautious approach? Otherwise a nice clear explanation with good diagrams. Thank you.
It would be easy, but I don't have an IR sensor to do it. But you would have to indicate that when it receives the IR signal, it makes the digital pin HIGH. Soon I will publish a project where I do something similar, but with a PIR sensor. Subscribe to the channel to not miss it.
Yes, you could have a Processing program that whenever it detects a pressed key, it sends a command to the arduino to do something, you could even program to do something different with each key
That's great demonstration, But if I want to use morethan 1 selenoid, how it could be? Am I just need to adds >1 selenoid, >1 R 330, >1 diode,? Thank you very much,
Hello, I want to ask what resistors and transistor do I need, if I want to use 6V solenoid with 9V Jack Arduino connector. Thank you and great video btw =]
Does it matter how much voltage is used for the solenoid? ; Can i use the same transitor and diode you used for a simular setup using a 9V solenoid? Also, how do you know which is the right mosfet and diode to use in a setup like this? Or are all mosfets and diodes simular enough for a setup like this? Thanks in advance anyone! :)
Yes, it matter. I tested with the 3V power, and it didn't have enought power to move the piston of the solenoid. So for this solenoid you need at least the 5V. I didn't try yet with voltage above 5V.
Soon I will publish the complete project where I use this part with the solenoid, so you should subscribe to the channel so you don't miss the video 👍👍👍
I could help, I did this project czcams.com/video/NLIHn6Duenk/video.html where the motion sensor turns on a light, for your project I just needed to put the solenoid pin in that output
Very nice. Can you connect 3 x outputs? I have to open en close 3 x motorized ball valved in a certain sequence to open and close water for a solar geyser. Is it possible to do with 3 x outputs?
Yes, just use a pin on the Arduino for each solenoid. But with this system I wouldn't have enough power por activate all the solenoids at the same time, but I could use them one at a time.
I want to use 5v solenoid in a control circuit of an air mattress , should i connect the solenoid directly to the ardunio without a transistor? And does the 5v solenoid even work for such circuit?
Subscribe for more projets, I will post a bigger project where I use the solenoid to lock and unlock a door using with a different setup and connections on the breadboard.

@@jomirife I have a solenoid rated for 4.5V minimum to operate. I am using an external DC power supply as well just to draw out the neccessary current. This is the solenoid I am using. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013DR655A/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Is this similar to yours?
Sir,I need the 5v pin of the arduino for another component of the curcuit.... What shall I do in that case? Sir, this is very important for my project...
I'm not really sure if you can solve that problem, because the 5v to the solenoid is almost not enough to move the solenoide, and sharing that powersource could be a problem.
Soon I will publish a project where I use many components and sensors in the same system, powered only by the Arduino's 5V, and the power source is shared and distributed on the breadboard. So it can also work that way for you.

Very helpful and to the point, thank you!
Thanks , out of many videos i've watched , this one is the one that worked
at least with this transistor it works
Very good demonstration - thank you - you are an excellent teacher!
Thanks. If you are interested in Arduino projects and electronics components, I will publish several videos soon.

1 Arduino, 1 Breadboard, 1 Solenoid (or 1 motor), 6 cables, 1 transistor IRF520, 1 diode 1N4007, 1 resistor of 330 ohm, 1 resistor of 2.2k ohm.
I have been acquiring the components over the years as I need them for my projects, sometimes I buy other times I recover stuff from electronic waste
But you can search for kits on amazon or ebay that include all of that
Is that a 5 v solenoid or 12 v selonoid ?
really nice tutorial. Thank you!!!
You're very welcome!
well explained
thanks
Will this circuit work if you want the opposite effect? I want the solenoid to be in the back position always and pull forwards when needed
Does it matter what type of resistor, transistor, and diode you use?
it helped a lot for my project, thanks
Glad to hear that!
Thank you, This video was very helpful to me
Hello!! May I know where you bought the solenoid? Thank you and great video

yes, you're right, but in my case as the circuit only serves to move one 5V solenoid, I preferred to use the current received by the USB.
could you do the triggering solenoid for this project with IR sensor?
It would be easy, but I don't have an IR sensor to do it. But you would have to indicate that when it receives the IR signal, it makes the digital pin HIGH. Soon I will publish a project where I do something similar, but with a PIR sensor. Subscribe to the channel to not miss it.

excellent u r creative
Thank you.

I like the video. Definitely its wonderful but you could have shown the the components names on the screen when you explained those.
sure, but I wrote them during the demo and they are on the description of the video
🙄
Would it be possible to make the solenoid "pulse" each time you press any keys on a keyboard?
Yes, you could have a Processing program that whenever it detects a pressed key, it sends a command to the arduino to do something, you could even program to do something different with each key
That's great demonstration,
But if I want to use morethan 1 selenoid, how it could be? Am I just need to adds >1 selenoid, >1 R 330, >1 diode,?
Thank you very much,
do you want to use more than 1 solenoid on the same circuito of that transistor? or control different solenoids with differente transistors?
note that the arduino only has 5v, you would need an additional power source to power different solenoids at the same time
@@jomirife yes, something like that..
It would be not enough, I got that
Sorry, what is the current and voltage used in the video on the selenoid?
What is the use of 1N4007 diode in controlling solenoid?
Very helpful! can you show how to connect multiple solenoids using 1 Arduino with a rhythmic pattern?
i am working on a project with multiple motors, but they are controlled in the same way as a solenoid.
When it's done, I'll publish the video :)
@@jomirife Theat great! I can't wait to see it all work. I really appreciate what you do!
Thank you so much for the video, maybe my project is the different amp of solenoid, so how to calcalaue the resistor and transistor i need? thanks
you need to check the datasheet of your components to determine which resistors you need to use
Hello, I want to ask what resistors and transistor do I need, if I want to use 6V solenoid with 9V Jack Arduino connector. Thank you and great video btw =]
you can use this same circuit, the diode I use is only to prevent the current direction so as not to burn the arduino
Hi there! Why do you need a resistor with the diode?
the diode can act as a resistor
Does it matter how much voltage is used for the solenoid? ; Can i use the same transitor and diode you used for a simular setup using a 9V solenoid?

Most welcome
Please show component names or number, such as Resistor 1000 ofms, diode 1N4007, transitor Tip120. Thank you.
that is in the beggining when I have all the components on the table
Hi, I am trying to reproduce this project but am trying to use a BC517 transistor vs the IRF520, will that work?
How would you connect 88 solenoids acting independently?
very good!
How many amps is the solenoid?
about 1 amp
it's not a very strong solenoid, it's just for prototyping ideas
love it
i love it too
Sir can a powder like salt flow through this solenoid
ok
🙄
cna we control the speed of opening though ?
i need to do that
have fun
Sir, i follow ur instruction but only the light on but the solenoid wont move at all. Can you explain why? Thank you sir for your tutorial
I would need to see your project better to identify the problem.

liked and subscribed, nice demo. is this possible if I use Lock-style Solenoid 12VDC
?
Yes, especially if it is for a door. I used this solenoid on a model for proof of concept because I didn't have a lock type at the time.
I will post the demonstration of my project maybe next month.
@@jomirife thanks!
@@hardcoreprogrammingwarrior7036 you're welcome

that's cool
thanks, it is
What about controlling the solenoid speed with a potentiometer?
You cannot control the speed of this solenoid, you would need another type of motor
🙄
Hi. Would this work with a solenoid that draws more current, or would I need different resistors etc?
The arduino can't work with much more powerful solenoids, you would need other components to amplify the power
Soon I will publish the complete project where I use this part with the solenoid, so you should subscribe to the channel so you don't miss the project 👍👍👍
🙄
Does your MOSFET heat sink get really hot when in use?
In this system.. no, the energy required is very low and does not heat the transistor.
But this can happen in systems with larger components that require more power. Have you had that problem?
🙄
If i want to run a 24vdc solenoid valve then what are the components do u have to change
you can use the same, only have to use another power source for that, because the arduino only do 3v and 5v
how much did the project cost?
just a few dollars, minus the cost of Arduino
Can I do this with another kick back suppression circuit where I don't use mosfet?
I'm going to think about how I can create the circuit without a MOSFET and then create a project like that
@@jomirife thanks 😊 for the reply subbed
Why not use a relay?
Relays are inferior to mosfets.
For some reason my solenoid doesnt respond to the low comand on the pin. It retracts due to the power supply but thats it.
What voltage is your solenoid?
If the solenoid needs more that 5 volts to work, the Arduino doen't have the power to do it
@@jomirife I have a solenoid rated for 4.5V minimum to operate. I am using an external DC power supply as well just to draw out the neccessary current.

@@chips1237 something above you?
can you make the solenoid move slower and might delay it at open?
To control the velocity you sould use a stepper motor, mas to delay the action you just do it on the code.

how much power does that solenoid needs?
this is only a 5V solenoid
👏👏
😀
can we use a tip120 transistor instead of the irf 520
the tip120 is two NPN transistors, so i think there will be no problem, and will protect the arduino pins in the same way

Can we simply pull and wait untill I give further commands to push it back
yes, look at the code, the piston could be pulled while the pin is in "high"
