I have made some wooden Musician automatons. They are powered by 110V motor. What I would like to do is this:

1[ As each model turns on, I want to use the MP3 trigger board to play a music track specific to that musician. My Question is

1] How is the MP3 trigger switched on? What can I do to have the board realise that the wooden Automaton motor has started. How do I deal with the voltages.

I am a complete novice to this and would appreciate all the help.

The ultimate aim is to have a diff music track play as each musician starts to play and ultimately trigger a track for the whole 'orchestra'.

Is this even possible?
