I am trying to build a circuit that activates some solenoids (4 in total) (2) 3 ohm solenoids and (2) 22 ohm solenoids.Solenoids are grounded to the structure.and have a positive input wire. I am planning on doing this with a Pic Chip, I Read that useing a mosfet would allow a faster switching then a standard Darlington setup. But i have never used mosfets before. does the coil resistance of the solenoid play a factor in what mosfet i use? The output of a pic is 5 volts and the voltage needed to power the solenoids is 14 volts. can someone please explain to me how i would do this. I am sorry for such a newbie question but i am still learning about all this stuff and Would like to learn as much as i can before i go to college for electronics engineering.
Thank you!
