Hey Tim,
The problem would be that the Arduino is only capable of running one script at any given time. However with some clever scripting we can create a ‘clock signal’ each second and then every time it reaches the fifth second switch the solenoid valve. It would likely look something like this.
void setup(){
}
void Functiontotriggervalves() {
//Script to switch the valves
}
void Functiontotriggerlatch(){
//Script to trigger the latch
}
int t = 0;
void loop() {
delay(1000); //Wait one second
if (t==5){
Functiontotriggervalves(); //On the fifth second
t=0;
}
Functiontotriggerlatch();
t+=1;
}
Make sure to let us know how you go!
