Controlling 12 Solenoids from Arduino / ShiftOut

Correct Grumphy Mike IRF 540 are not logic level, ( but If you look in the datasheet it will condukt many amps with only 5 volts on gate.

Ewen has found an logiclevel but it is much overkill with an 30 A switching 0,58 A. IF the pricing are right it's OK.
