I hate to bother you since I sent two messages, but did you get them? I tried one of the drv102's and so far nothing is working. Maybe its the diode I used.

Im a gear head, not a electrical engineer. But I know enough to build one of these, compared to what I had a engineer make me that requires I go to college.
I found 5 of these on Ebay for $20 which looks like a good price compared to online stores.
On my solenoid I dont need the function to pull it back, a spring does it for me.
I will send you a message and we can discuss this more if you dont mind.

I need this setup for a solenoid I am using to lock / unlock the axles on my atv.
I had a guy build a driver for me but he is using a PIC16f690 chip which requires a programmer and assembly language knowledge to change its settings.
Way to complicated for me.
This is more what I had in mind. Keep it simple stupid is what I say.
Please respond if you can.
Thanks,
Dennis
Damn! those were not on ebay when I was shopping for them just a couple of weeks ago. Nice find!
I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have..... that I'm able to answer. Having someone else to talk to about this might save my marriage!
The key in your app is find the right "duty" current that won't allow a bump or jostle to release the relay.
Don't hesitate to send me a note directly, tho at this point, it may be evening or tomorrow morning before I respond.

Hi Dennis, I'm a hack by any definition of the term and really know just enough to be dangerous about this type of thing. I did quite a bit of research this winter on this project, which is getting close to implementation as soon as a few more parts arrive. The idea type of relay for my app is a true latching relay. There is no current involved in the static state, but a reverse voltage is required to reverse the relay. I was not prepared to replace all my solenoid relays.
