Hi all,

I have a large solenoid that draws a maximum of 15A at 24V.  I want to
be able to vary the current flowing into the solenoid so I can vary
the force it generates.  I want this to be driven by DAC that has an
output voltage of 0-5V and minimal sourcing current ~100mA.

I've been thinking about power FET's or a BJT's but I haven't got much
experience in this sort of electronics so I really can't take it any
further.  This system is all part of a feedback pedal design that will
provide more resitance the further you push in the pedal.  We have a
potentiometer measuring pedal displacement and this goes into a
microcontroller, through a simple transfer function and produces the
output signal which will drive the solenoid.  I'm stuck with the type
of current driver or amp I should use.  Any advice, or links to
circuits etc., will be of great assistance.

Thanks,
Lyndon.
