hey
i have a question regarding bipolar/latching relays. im aware that one normally sends a pulse to either coil to active/deactivate it.
but how would i trigger one when having steady 5v logic outputs instead (say from a flip flop)?
on a regular realy id simply use a transistor to drive the coil. but since latching relays work with pulses im confused. could i run a steady voltage to either coil and switch by alternating between the two logic outputs? or would i need to convert my continous outputs back to a pulse somehow. if yes, how would i do that?
