For several years I've known I need to fix the gas control valve for our propane hot air furnace in the summer -- when we don't need heat 😉
There are two solenoids that operate the gas valve and the electrical connector is poorly designed and over time the electrical connection becomes unreliable.
Real repair and photos from October 2024 later on in the thread.

Solenoid – Ritual [Black Hole Transmissions]
Black Hole Transmissions is a collaborative digital label formed by the London-based Dark Matter Project and German producer Solenoid. For the label’s upcoming release, Solenoid returns after last year’s Neural Implants, this time delivering an EP of deep, hypnotic techno that further solidifies his sonic identity.

Vertical Drift traces a path through minimal and hypnotic techno, where relentless rhythms, razor-sharp hi-hats, and enveloping synth layers build a deep, almost meditative atmosphere. Throughout its opening tracks, the EP moves fluidly between trance, sustained tension, and sonic magnetism, carefully setting the conceptual and emotional groundwork for its closing moment.

The final track, Ritual, stands out with flashes of fast-moving acid synths layered over a strong, driving rhythm. Its opening, marked by shimmering trance-inflected tones, cleverly conceals what is yet to come. Gradually, the sound design unfolds with clarity: acid droplets fall slowly and precisely, transporting the listener to a space where the nostalgic and the utopian coexist. Emotions and sensations become fully saturated, wrapped in a sound that is both beautiful and powerful.
Intensity is handled with restraint, shifting between refreshing momentum and moments of controlled calm. It is a form of strength that knows when to assert itself and when to withdraw, supported by a versatile sonic structure that allows for both tight, focused passages and expansive, immersive stretches. With this release, Solenoid once again demonstrates his command of raw, deep, and hypnotic techno. He never disappoints.

Converting AC Irrigation Valves To DC Operation
I love how you follow the KISS principle
I clearly am in a Raspberry Pi practical project mode
I want to use my Pi5 HAT
You should be able to do so with stop motion photography and a script
Take your DSLR, trigger it with a PLC, Arduino, or Raspberry Pi with the refresh script that you're running on the page
You can use a solenoid to trigger the DSLR driven by the Pi
A task like this is perfect for any Raspberry Pi especially the low-powered ones
Voyage mental, excursion extatique, expérimentale, mystique et transcendantale, comme d'habitude, #solenoid m'emporte au bords des (m)ondes.

Mission 238 de Solénoïde : quand le dub d’Adrian Sherwood explose les frontières, il entraîne dans son sillage Mansur, Hand To Earth et Zöj. Quatre disques, quatre mondes : du groove déconstruit aux rituels aborigènes, des voix mystiques aux cordes persanes. Une heure d’écoute pour secouer vos repères et élargir l’horizon.
