You can toggle a piston with just an SPST since it has the two states you'd need, on/off (in/out for a piston).

But if you wanted to use a SPDT just pick a pair of pins from 2, 7, 10, or 14 and ground on 4 or 12.
Your code would decide what to do with that information.

Re: PROGRAMMING PNEUMATICS

you could either use a couple of resistors to imitate the function of the analog "wheel" (circular thing on top of joystick), or use two seperate binary button inputs.

when using the "wheel" remember to account for slight variance in values.

Re: PROGRAMMING PNEUMATICS

Thank you to Mark and Leav,
I think we will use a SPST switch to save pins and the "off" position is to retract the piston and the "ON" position is to exstend it.

Thanks!!!
