Sunstone Printed Circuit Board Forum

I don't know anything about circuit layout or any parts required but I need to develop one. I need a PCB that can receive a remote signal. After the signal is received I need it to engage a solenoid to pull around 2 pounds for about 2-3 seconds. After that I want it to return to its original state. I have absolutely no clue how to do any of this or where to begin. Any help would be much appreciated!

This sounds like you need more help than Sunstone can provide. I would recommend you try a design firm. They will be able to handle your needs a lot better. Here is a link to a few of our recommendations.
