PCB question

Former Member
Former Member
12 Feb 2015

I am wondering if there is a way to make a *small pcb in the realm of 2x3 inches that could run on batteries. I would want it to allow for a remote signal when that signal is received, engage a solenoid for 2-3 seconds and then reset the solenoid back to its original position. I don't know anything about PCB's and am in the need of one for a woods project at home. Just wondering if its possible and how I would go about having one made. Thanks.

    They have remote control keychain transmitters and receivers. They also have power door lock solenoids  that can push-pull 2 pounds.  use a gel cell for 12 volt power and you can even buy a solar panel from them to charge the gel cell....oh yes you do not need a computer or controller to do what you want. Just push the button 2-3 seconds.

    I think it's definitely reasonable. The battery will likely be bigger than the board. Unless you wanted to do it yourself, I would make a post titled something like "Looking to solicit a PCB and circuit design". The rates you get quoted will vary a lot, but this type of project could be done by a hobbyist at a reduced rate.

    That's another question I have. I think I need it to pull about 2 pounds. So I've been wondering what type of solenoid I would need to power it. I have looked quite a bit but all my searches come back with irrelevant answers.
