Re: Pneumatics holding their position
Attached is how a Single Solenoid works, the Magnet symbol is for the ON and "Not ON" states. Top is ON, bottom is Not ON. The Orange color is exaust route, light blue is pressured route. To the direct right of the magnet symbol is the spring in it's compressed and extended states.

Note: all 5 positions in the diagram have plugs and wires. The bottom left and bottom right do not require a plug or wire if you do not intend on using the exhaust.
