This circuit uses an LM393 comparator to drive an IRFZ44N MOSFET based on the comparison between two input signals from a pixhawk 2.4.8 flight controller. The MOSFET switches a solenoid, with a diode for back EMF protection, and the system is powered by a Lipo battery with voltage regulation provided by a step-up boost converter and a step-down voltage regulator to ensure stable operation. A resistor is connected to the gate of the MOSFET for proper biasing.
