Custom DIY made 4 solenoids Xylophone player
I had just created a solenoid Xylophone player, it was a part of process in the Untitled Desires Interactive Project. It had 4 solenoids on D,F,A,C Xylophone bars. Each solenoid can operate by using 3V – 12V DC.
Wires soldered on solenoids run through on a flexible metal thick bars thus the wires were neatly along and behind the Xylophone.
4 sets of relay wire output to solenoids input connections was made by using screw in one way connectors.
This is how it is connected in sets of 4.

What is the circuitry involved in controlling the solenoids? I wanted to make a 555 controlled solenoid-metronome.
