Both adafruit.com and spark fun.com carry solenoids that will work and they also have tutorials that'll help.
Amazon also has lots of stuff if you already kinda know what you want. If you want things that'll interface with a micro like the RPi or Arduino, just put in a search for 'arduino solenoid' and you'll get a fair number of hits.

Here outside Philadelphia, I continue to seek a parts supplier that doesn't have a $20 minimum order for parts not normally stocked. Even that was from an internet parts supplier, so it's hurry up and wait. Haven't found any other local brick and mortar (outside Philadelphia) stores. If not at Radio Shack, where are you getting parts and skirting the shipping, waiting, and minimum order? _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
