Controlling small solenoid with CR6 over RTMC-Pro?


SteveA Feb 2, 2018 04:02 PM

I'm wanting to control a small dc solenoid (Guardian Electric A420-066662-00 or similar) with a CR6.  I haven't done anything like this before, but am assuming I could just control it with the switched 12 v timed control.  The problem is that I'd also like to be able to control it for non-timed events (like pressing a switch in RTMC-Pro or something).  Is that even possible?  If so, what would the code look like?  Looking through the RTMCPro manual I get the impression that it's possible, I just don't know how to implement it.

Write your program such that a boolean variable in the Public table can switch the solenoid on and off. Then, you can link a switch in RTMC to that variable.
