### Solenoids
-First you will need a build a circuit to drive the solenoid through a mosfet as most MCU will not be able to provide the current needed to drive the coil in the solenoid.
+The solenoid code supports relay switches, and similar hardware, as well as solenoids.

-| Settings | Default | Description |
-|----------------------------|----------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|
-|`SOLENOID_PIN` | *Not defined* |Configures the pin that the Solenoid is connected to. |
-|`SOLENOID_PIN_ACTIVE_LOW` | *Not defined* |If defined then the solenoid trigger pin is active low.|
-|`SOLENOID_DEFAULT_DWELL` | `12` ms |Configures the default dwell time for the solenoid. |
-|`SOLENOID_MIN_DWELL` | `4` ms |Sets the lower limit for the dwell. |
-|`SOLENOID_MAX_DWELL` | `100` ms |Sets the upper limit for the dwell. |
-|`SOLENOID_DWELL_STEP_SIZE` | `1` ms |The step size to use when `HPT_DWL*` keycodes are sent |
-|`SOLENOID_DEFAULT_BUZZ` | `0` (disabled) |On HPT_RST buzz is set "on" if this is "1" |
-|`SOLENOID_BUZZ_ACTUATED` | `SOLENOID_MIN_DWELL` |Actuated-time when the solenoid is in buzz mode |
-|`SOLENOID_BUZZ_NONACTUATED` | `SOLENOID_MIN_DWELL` |Non-Actuated-time when the solenoid is in buzz mode |
+For relay switches, the hardware may already contain all of that ciruitry, and just require VCC, GND and a data pin.

+|`SOLENOID_PIN_ACTIVE_LOW` | *Not defined* |If defined then the switch trigger pin is active low. |
+|`SOLENOID_PINS` | *Not defined* |Configures an array of pins to be used for switch activation. |
+|`SOLENOID_PINS_ACTIVE_LOW` | *Not defined* |Allows you to specify how each pin is pulled for activation. |
+|`SOLENOID_RANDOM_FIRE` | *Not defined* |When there are multiple solenoids, will select a random one to fire.|
+|`SOLENOID_DEFAULT_DWELL` | `12` ms |Configures the default dwell time for the switch. |

* If solenoid buzz is off, then dwell time is how long the "plunger" stays activated. The dwell time changes how the solenoid sounds.
* If solenoid buzz is on, then dwell time sets the length of the buzz, while `SOLENOID_BUZZ_ACTUATED` and `SOLENOID_BUZZ_NONACTUATED` set the (non-)actuation times withing the buzz period.
