Adding solenoid

Post by tenaja » Sat Dec 01, 2018 10:42 am

I just ordered my Taz; debated between that and a Prusa--decided to go Made in USA. Bummed I did not order it last week...

Anyway, is there a spare output so I can activate a solenoid? Where do I find the docs for this?

Thanks!

You could activate one via the I2C port on the Rambo board. Search for "Rambo and Servo" for examples of how it can be done. You may need a mosfet if your solenoid draws sufficient current to be above the rating for the board.
