#90111 - LPC932 Oscillating
Hi, I have the LPC932 connected to a mechanical solenoid through a FET transistor. The micro send a signal of about 60msec. But some reason it remains ocillating. In other words the pulse is supposed to go high for about 60msec and come down and stop. But with this solenoid it remains repeating the signal...I have checked other pins on the micro and they tend to oscillate as well. If I remove the solenoid, the micro works properly. This only happens when I use batteries to power the micro and solenoid. If I use a power supply, then I find no problems.
Can anyone tell me what could be wrong and how can this be solved. I will try to extend the length of the pulse.

Thanks

J.C.
