- tubing from port B to the other end of the same cylinder
Don't leave any of this plumbing open to the air. It must connect to something or be plugged to prevent the pressurized air from running straight out to atmosphere.
Test manually:
Does the solenoid change when you push the blue manual button shown on top of each one in your photo (with pressure applied to the input port of course)?
Can you add code to toggle the solenoid value at the press of a button? |
We have closed of all the ports and connected it to the cylinder, yet when we push air through it, we can only move the piston in one direction, and to move it in the other direction with would have to switch tubing placement, instead of just being able to code it to change. We have made sure to keep the air pressure to go in at 35 psi, and have closed all other valves (except the exhaust openings). We also have the code to toggle the solenoid using our game control to change, but haven't tested it out yet due to this problem.
