Re: Mulit-postioning with pnuematics this year?
 

Solved!
Whatever problems we had we fixed. It turns out that I had blocked the wrong port on the second valve (see thumbnail on my post, about eight back from this one) :yikes: . Thanx for the help!

Re: Mulit-postioning with pnuematics this year?
 

After months of reading, I finally made my own account. Anyway, I'm from team 1541, we are a rookie team, but we are doing pretty good so far. We have some video of our testing of multi-position pneumatics at http://www.sartanyac1541.com . We used the SMC to plug into the actuator, and then the exhaust is routed into the festo valve which opens whenever the extend or retract button is being held down. It took a little fooling around to get it, but now we have everything running off one spike. :-)
