Re: Pressure Sensor Readings
 

OHHHHHHH! Now I know what this could be used for (the analog sensor)

some teams dont put the compressor on the robot. They charge the tanks up before the match, and only use the pneumatics sparingly

this sensor would allow you to see how much pressure you have left in your tank, if you dont have the compressor onboard!

COOL!!!!!

Re: Pressure Sensor Readings
 

That is very interesting. Along with what Ken said, it would also allow you to turn the tanks on and off at custom points, like to save battery, turn em off at a lower value. BTW, anyone know the rule on this one? When does it NEED to turn off?

ETA: According to the pneumatics section in the robot manual, the turn off point must be 125 psi. this would be very convenient to do with the analog sensor!

Re: Pressure Sensor Readings
 

Im pretty sure the compressor itself has a pressure release valve set around 125 or so - therefor if you program your SW to shut off at the 125, it might vent at 124 and your sensor will never see 125 - leaving the compressor on all the time

I think you suppose to use the digital sensor to control the off part - maybe when you turn it back on is up to you?

with the analog sensor you could program the compressor to turn back on as soon as you see any drop in pressure, which would indicate that the pneumatics are being actuated (used).
