All good suggestions, Eric, but I have one clarification:

This statement is true as long as the circuit (coil) doesn't exceed the available source voltage of the driver, which I think is 3V for the Cypress PSoc (or is it running straight off the 5V USB?). It probably won't be a problem, but I'm just being cautious before learning the implementation details.
