Hello-
I'm having this same issue. My DC motor works fine, but my solenoid is unresponsive. I've tested the solenoid with a wide range of different settings and the result is the same. I've also ordered two separate solenoids from Koma to test the functionality of the motors. I'm now going to try to make my own motor and see if this works. I've noticed that within Koma's FAQ section they suggest that any solenoid should work so long as it is under 9V and <500mA. Is this so? It seems like the solenoid that ships from Koma is 12VDC and 300ma. Would it make sense to use a lower voltage (lower than 12VDC) solenoid with the unit?
