Programming a pneumatic-shift gearbox is extremely easy in LabVIEW. If you use a dual solenoid, all you need to do is use two joystick/gamepad buttons.


Place two Case blocks. Wire one button's value to the select input of the first block. In its True case, set the solenoid Forward. Wire the other button to the second block. In the True case of that block, set the solenoid Reverse. The False cases remain empty. Press one button to shift to high gear; press the other button to shift low.
