[PD] arduino+solenoid concert

[naysayer]

thanks Nicholas.

we have an rs components here in Australia but £6 is about  $18 from
me and i want to get about 20 of them. as i am on an artist wage, i
don't  need high precision stuff. i'm sure there must be some where i
can get one that is cheaper. if anyone can give me model numbers
and/or brands of cheap solenoids that would help my search, as thus
far i am still looking at 10-20 bucks each for a simple push solenoid.

thanks all for your suggestions.
