Hi Guys,
I have some solenoid valves (24 V, 100 mA) I want to trigger them with the digital lines of my DAQ USB. As the digital lines are just 5 V I could amplify the voltage but in any case the current is too low to trigger them. I was wondering if there is something, like a switch that can be drived by the digital output in such a way that when it is actuated connect a 24 VCD power supply with the valve so it closes and when I stop applying the 5 V it is switched off. Electronics is not my background as you can see so I would appreciate if you could tell which is the best way to do this.
Thank you very much
