Software apps and online services

Hairless MIDI < - > Serial Bridge
This software allows us to send MIDI data from any application on your computer to a serial port, in this case the Bluetooth reciever, which the Arduinos then respond to.

16-Channel MOSFET Solenoid Driver Board

Please note that using this file you can't actually solder in the MOSFETs; the holes are just big enough to jam them in. This makes them easier to replace.
