Would this work? BTW, there's a diode on the gun coil shorted across the two coil leads. Not sure what this does, but do I still need a diode AFTER the coil (before the relay)? |
| ErikRuud:
Un-regulated power supplies are often often rated in VA. The fact that they are un-regulated means that if the current demand goes up, the voltage may go down as the power supply tries meet the demand. I can find a link to more technical explanation if you want. |

OK, did some tinkering, here's what I came up with. I could only find a solid-state relay that switched AC current using 5VDC. |
