Mailbag #11

A few items arrived recently and so I've cobbled together some video of me mumbling my way through opening them up!

The really interesting one was a water solenoid valve - it is pitched at 12V but opens fine with 9V - very handy if there is a 9V battery available.

The plan is to maybe build a hydro-based power station on the property (which is very steep!) - if I can hook up an ESP8266 or an ESP32 to control such a valve the possibilities are very very interesting.

Of course, there's a bit of experimentation to go first - I'm no engineer, just a tinkerer.

Enjoy!
