Playing Imperial March on a Fast Switching Valve

I thought that there have been dozens or Imperial marches played by floppy drives or step motors so I might as well do something new...

The sound you hear is produced by high pressure air rushing out of the valve - it opens and closes very very fast and produces sound. The valve I used here is Festo's MHE3-MS1H-3/2G-QS-6.
Its switch on time is 2.3 ms and it switches off in 2.8ms - very very impressive piece of hardware and they are pretty pricey - luckily I got it for next to nothing.


1. The circuit is very simple - just a ULN2003A used as a driver for the valve. Check the diagram.
(note that I had to substituted the valve with a solenoid - but hey it's a SOLENOID valve after all. Ohh and by the way - if you don't have a pneumatic valve the circuit will work with just a regular solenoid - just mount it so that it strikes a metal object and it should produce sound too ).

2. Here's the arduino code (it's a slightly modified version of a sketch created by Carlton Shepherd) - just copy & paste build the circuit as described and it should work just fine
