I've seen many machines that have a small relay in series with a motor brake solenoid. This lets the machine know that the brake solenoid has been energized, no broken wires, etc.
Now I'm going to try to make a setup like this, but don't know where to begin in sizing the relay properly. Is it something that can be done with any sort of brake as long as you get the circuit math down right, or does it have to be a specially designed brake solenoid to do it?
