Hey,
This makes me so happy! It has taken me 5 months to get to this place (trial and error and waiting for parts) but I have finally got somewhere really promising!
This is 8 solenoids rigged up to a vibraphone (bit of a bodge rig but hey!) and it is being sent data through the Arduino, through the circuit, to the solenoids. All using Pure Data!
The patch is using a monome patch, and it works really well!
Thanks for reading!

Logo!
Hey,
So I made a little logo type thing for my work, I made it out of a breadboard and some random electronics equipment...
It does the job!

A video!
Hey!
Here is video footage of 3 solenoids operating on a vibraphone on a simple tone-row using Pure Data!
I am very happy that this is working, expect more to come! With more solenoids!

I've made it!
At last!
I have finally made it, this circuit runs 8 solenoids of mains power! I purchased a 10-way guitar pedal power supply and the circuit all runs of that!
I ripped the ends of all the power leads and soldered jumper cables on the end of them as so...
Be warned this is very dangerous, do NOT touch the ends while power is running through, exercise caution when using the circuit.
I also soldered some jumper cables together to get extra length like this...

Another update!
Ahoy,
So I stumbled across these fine circuit board in college that would allow me to run 4 lines of power through ergo, 4 solenoids!
Furthermore I found two!
I made this circuit...
This circuit is running 3 solenoids at the moment, more later!

Update!
Hello all,
I thought I had cracked it when my ordered parts came through the post, I wire up this circuit and was planning to run everything of 9V batteries...
Unfortunately this was not too be, the main reason being that this breadboard is not suitable for 8 solenoids as it is only split into two parts, meaning I can only run two lines of power through which would not be enough. Also the 9v battery packs would eventually run out and it would start to be costly.
