Re: Position control of pistons with simple solenoids

The difference is only in our program logic. You have two solenoids that you need to activate alternately to make the piston move in either direction, just like with a normal 4-way double solenoid valve. But now you also have the option of stopping the piston mid-stroke by turning both solenoids off.

We didn't finish our valve test assembly last night and I have nothing to report today but tonight should give us results to report.
