Sorry for the delay as I have an ill family member. But I picked up the displays at a Hamfest. in Huntsville, AL. I am going to buy the rest of the box (half a shipper) of them and might be willing to help some folks out with projects.[/quote]

Thanks! What price are they?

I would use some 595's and 2 mosfets per solenoid. Connect the middle of each solenoid to ground. On the mosfets: connect the gate to the output of the 595, drain to +12V, source to the solenoid. This requires allot of extra hardware. Not very elegant.

Or you could try the Ti TPIC6C595

This only does sinking. Could you try and put the +12V in the middle and GND the outside pins on the solenoid? Should still work.

edit// Also where did you pick those up from? I been looking for some for almost a year now.
