Post by: cootcraig on March 11, 2014, 01:25:27 PM
I am interested in a Moteino interface to this solenoid.

LEIT-2 S-305DC Solenoid

Electrical Specifications
Two-way magnetic latching, bistable, bi-directional pulse
Coil operating data:
Coil resistance 4.7 +/- 0.3 Ohms,minimum pulse 10 mS duration at 7-9 volts
Red + and white – to latch open
Red – and white + to latch closed
Leads: 18" (45 cm) AWM 1007 / 1569 16 AWG 300V VW-1- red/white

I have started using the DIG 710 and 740 9V contollers in my yard and
a Moteino based controller would be nice.

I have a ways to go before I work on this myself, but I thought others might
be interesed in this as well.
