The solenoids are working based off of hardly edited "blinky" code and basic circuitry. These solenoids seem to be enough to pluck strings which is great because I can get them extra cheap off alibaba, but they need just the right amount of spacing between the string and the edge of the pick or else it will get stuck.

I realized that when you strum a guitar the pick goes back and forth at an angle, rather than head on like I have it. I am wondering if I have a pick with some rounded edges that will help push the string under the pick and reduce the chances of it getting stuck.
