Make12 - Solar Xylophone

We carry pretty much all of the electronic parts you need to build the Solar Xylophone by Rory Nugent in Make Volume 12. So, to save you a ton of time trying to find all of those many parts (and adding 8 of each!) we have compiled them all into one very convenient bundle.

Important - this only provides enough parts to build one of the Xylophone mallet actuators, you will need to order a total of 8 to build exactly the same as the project - or just order exactly as many you need for your project.

Included Parts:

• 1x MCP112 Voltage Trigger
• 1x 2N3904 NPN Transistor
• 1x 10k Single-turn Trimpot
• 1x 4700µF Electrolytic Capacitor
• 1x 1.0µF Monolithic Capacitor
• 1x 1N914 Silicon Diode
• 1x 37 x 66mm Monocrystalline Solar Cell
• 1x Gear Motor 10 - Geared pager motor

So build away, and when you are done, we'd love to see some pictures! Also, check out Rory's web page to see some cool photos and videos.
