Hello,

ME here hoping I can get some help from an EE. I am currently working on a consumer product utilizing a D/C Diaphragm motor and a normally closed solenoid valve. Right now the way the pump works, is it applies a negative pressure, and then the solenoid valve returns pressure to 0 between cycles. I am wondering if it is as simple as just programming the PCB to shut the valve closed faster, so the valve stops at around -50 to -75mmHg rather than getting to 0. Would it be possible, and if not, are there specific sensors that could be wired in to allow this to be possible?

Thanks for any help.
