I've had a lot of help from Hide members in the past finding info on things I don't know enough about and I need help again. I'm working on a home project where I need a air solenoid to open when a switch is pressed. However, I need a way for it to close again automatically within 1-2 seconds.
To break it down, I'll be using a NC (normally closed) button that will be held depressed. When the button is released the circuit will close and activate the air solenoid. I then need for the solenoid to close again automatically within the 1-2 seconds. The button will then be held closed again and the process needs to repeat.
Should I be looking for a button that self resets or a relay with delay? I've been googling all day and can't seem to find what I need. Really appreciate any help. I knows there's plenty of people smarter in these manners than I.
