About the Pluralsight Drumkit RevB Driver PCB

Pluralsight Drumkit RevB Driver is an open source PCB design by jzkmath, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 100 × 100 mm, with 54 components from 4 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the ULN2003A. By type, the board carries 35 connectors and 19 ICs.

It belongs with the audio and dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.

From the project

Uses an Arduino Mega and a custom Shield PCB to drive 14/32 solenoids via MIDI

This design is based off the Adafruit Crikit and MIDI Solenoid Drumkit that they did, but instead uses a non-blocking delay and can handle more solenoids. The Solenoids are connected to 5V/12V and a Darlington Array (ULN2003A) connects the negative to ground when turned on.

Just like in the Adafuit version, the first solenoid corresponds to a C1 (MIDI Note #24) and the following solenoids correspond to the following notes in chromatic order.
