Happy Holidays! It’s been ages since I posted anything, mostly because I’ve been so busy teaching at UCA Farnham and Openlab Workshops. Here’s a little something for the holidays. The code is below, and the source image was courtesy of Jan Tik on Flickr.

Using the Output Plug to Drive a Solenoid
Output plug: http://cafe.jeelabs.net/lab/op1/#index3h1 JeeNode v5: http://talk.jeelabs.net/topic/207 “To drive a small lamp or motor, you connect it between COM and the output pin(s), and you connect the power supply between COM and GND.
