Arduino Solenoid Valve Circuit: How to control water flow with an Arduino

How to use a solenoid valve with an Arduino

In this video we show how to do flow control with an Arduino. This is great for gardening, plumbing, and industrial applications. We look at some of the design issues when using a solenoid valve such as Back EMF and the need for a relay. We go over Ohm’s law for an inductor and show how to solve the Back EMF issue with a Flyback Diode (aka Freewheeling Diode or Snubber Diode). After reviewing the solenoid equation, we hook up and test the circuit – and successfully control water with the Arduino and solenoid valve.
