MOSFETs, Solenoids, and Arduino UNO R3


i picked mosfet board ebay:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/301357646243

i'm trying use following components:

12vdc 10a switching power supply
arduino uno r3
mosfet board
12vdc 75w solenoid

i have 22awg pos/neg power supply arduino.

i have 16awg neg power supply mosfet board input.

i have 16awg neg mosfet board output (fet 1), solenoid.

i have 16awg pos power supply solenoid.

at solenoid, have transient voltage diode between pos/neg connects protect mosfet spikes solenoid field collapses.


my issue when arduino commands mosfet board fire solenoid, voltage on arduino pulled down point board reboots.

ideas?

well, seem have found issue, have no solution.

i tried hooking solenoid directly power supply arduino powered same supply.  no issues.

i did same, putting transient voltage diode between solenoid terminals.  pulled voltage of power supply down nothing, , after couple of hits, fried diode.

apparently misinformed regarding using transient voltage diode?

should have used regular diode?
