Making Electronics

To control solenoid valve I used a famus and popular electronic timer NE555. It is extremely easy to build.
It has two potentiometers to control valve opening and closing times. Setting these values allows to obtain any Rate Of Fire.
Also the System has a Full-Auto and Semi-Auto jumper to choose fire type option. The LED diode inform when system is working.
