flip flop for driving latching solenoids

[mister_e]

Something like an H-Bridge driver... well something like the append.

If your solenoids are not too current hungry, you'll find a load of h-bridge driver in a single IC. Really handy.

BUT, there's a BUT, if you don't need to send always voltage to your Solenoids, the append(without the inverter but 2 i/o on your PIC... ) will do the Job
