Need suggestions for a small push type solenoid - jmiller5552003 - Oct 3 21:09:00 2004


Anyone know where I can get a small push type solenoid. I would like
to pulse it with an output pin on the bx24. It would be used to tap a
users finger at different rates and would not need much power, just
enough to feel the tap.

Would a small relay do? All mechanical relays have a moving armature
except reed relays, (which you could still use to pull a small slug).

Or you could use a small motor, given only enough current to nudge a
short rotating arm. Tom
