Hi,
I’m trying to power my project using one single power source and needs help on what options I have. My project consist of 2 arduino megas, 1 solenoid (12V 600mAH), and combination of hall-effect sensors and LEDs (5-12V ~1.5A ).
My plan is to use D24V5F5 to power the megas. Question is should I use 2 regulators to power each megas or 1 regulator to power one mega and piggy back the other one. Power the sensors and leds off of the power supply and the solenoid has it’s driver using TIP102 and a diode. I currently have a 12V 4.2Ah power supply that i’m planning to use but not sure if it’s enough to power everything.
I hope this is not too confusing. Thanks in advance!
