Very nice Ray!  Shame about the breadboard though. :)

I would suggest you check out this thread:
http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1271537811

The guy is using an L293D chip to drive his air core motor with.  Note 
that if you have a copy of either BSAI or BRFS, there are schematics in 
both books for driving air cores with a micro controller.  Mike likes 
PICs, but the connections are essentially identical for Atmel uCs.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
