Circuit Documentation

Summary of the Circuit

This circuit is designed to control a water pump and a plastic solenoid valve using a timer switch, all powered by a 12V battery. The timer switch is responsible for managing the power supplied to the water pump and the solenoid valve, allowing them to operate for set intervals. The 12V battery provides the necessary power to the entire circuit.

Component List

Water Pump

  • Pins: VCC, GND
  • Description: A device that moves water through the system.

Timer Switch

  • Pins: negative output, positive input, negative input
  • Description: Controls the timing of the power supplied to the water pump and solenoid valve.

12V Battery

  • Pins: VCC, GND
  • Description: Provides the power source for the circuit.

Plastic Solenoid Valve

  • Pins: pin1, pin2
  • Description: Controls the flow of water when activated by the timer switch.
