thanks! more to come soon, got any feedback on how the video was edited? and do you have an projects you'd like to see? like the one we just did? (RFID + servo = homemadedoor lock)
Great Video! I've a 12V same solenoid Valve and esp wroom 32 i'm not sure how to configure it nd wht relay will be use and charger with exact amp in 12V?? suggext video tutorial or write something THANKS
Great video, I have a use case I'm wondering if you have experience with. I have an Opal Ice maker that I would like to use an air pressure sensor to control a solenoid to manage its water level. Smaller scale than this arrangement. I don't have experience with Arduino, or these types of sensors. I'm looking for guidance on the best way to accomplish this. It's a common use case with these popular ice makers. I think this arrangement could create a retro fit for ice makers that could be easy to install and fail safe. Any suggestions on how I accomplish this?
@@danielleekirkpatrick8579 I haven’t tested that out yet, but I’ve was thinking of just connecting a servo to a Manual block off and then it wouldn’t ever burn
what relay module do i need? I am making the exact same system as you but I am unclear on what relay to buy. On amazon I see a bunch that are 5v relays but it is not clear to me if that is the one I need as I am using a 12v power supply like you
Usually the have 2 different voltage numbers, one is for the controlling part and one for the actually relay circuit, so those Amazon 5v ones need 5v to trigger on or off but can handle a different level of power on the circuit side, hopefully that makes sense !
Can the solenoid open partially to let the flow of water be set to a lower amount? If not, can you suggest some alternatives and also make a video on how to connect that?
no unfortunatly, I think the best option would be to use it in steps, like on 3 seconds and off 3 seconds, but if you want super control you would have to make a solenoid with some actuating door that you can control the percent of how open it is
If i connect the solenoid straight to the power supply its working, but if i connect it to relay its not working. I'm using 2 relay module with esp8266. Is it because it didn't get enough voltage?@@MikaelAbehsera
@nurulainaabintiahmadshukri7494 I’m not sure but I would check the code and wiring, if you know that the solenoid works, then go to the next part the relay, figure out why it’s not working
Just got one more sub.. Just started researching arduino based projects. Love how you explained the part you are adding in depth. 🤙🏻

Great content! thanks for sharing!
Happy to see you posted!
Thanks
Dude, I love your tutorials. They are so well explained. Thank you so much ❤
thanks glad it helped
I needed exactly this video. thanks😍👍
Glad it was helpful!

sure, will do

Im not sure how these Opal ice makers work, but you can also do a water level sensor with a shutoff switch to make your life way easier no?
The only issue with those valves is you cant hold them open indefinitely, they overheat eventually.
True, I’ll be doing this video again with some bigger ones in the future to see how much damage we can do and see the numbers/results
How long can they stay open before it becomes a problem.. would 15 minutes to 1 hour be ok ?

@@danielleekirkpatrick8579 they can run lower than 12v, they should take much longer to overheat with 7v vs 12v.
Please give a link to the solenoid, tube size converter, and pump.
I want to buy exact device that you use.
Just subscribed.

@@MikaelAbehsera alright thanks
would a modulating ball valve with an electric actuator work?
very well explained!
Glad it helped! thanks for the feedback
Whats the thinnest gauge of wire i can use to activate the solenoid?
probably super thin, just check the recommended amps
Why my solenoid valve is not working?
Check wiring
If i connect the solenoid straight to the power supply its working, but if i connect it to relay its not working. I'm using 2 relay module with esp8266. Is it because it didn't get enough voltage?@@MikaelAbehsera

bro youre legit
thanks
