I've said my peice. I'm going back to my regular place now.

Refer to my diagram as writing on the first page and set it up exactly like it. You hook the single solenoid (curved one) after the "memory" solenoid. The curved solenoids input 1 should be the combined exhaust of the memory solenoid. Make two stops using 2 pieces of tubing and a tee on each. Put these stops on output 2 and exhaust 4. When you have this setup. Power the system and check for leaks, they do make a difference. When there are no leaks switch the memory solenoid either direction it needs to go using the two manual buttons on top. The solenoid will switch but the cyclinder won't move. Then using a finger or a screw-driver, switch the manual switch of the curved solenoid and let go. The cyclinder should go in the direction the memory solenoid selects and then stop when you let off of the manual switch of the curved solenoid. Once you get this to work and see what need to be activated or unactivated to move the cyclinder in this way and program that into a single button, multiple buttons, and single switch or a series of switches. Whatever works best. If you have questions just ask. Again the diagram is the exact one we used last year, look at the robot side and you can see the controlled cyclinder. If I find any pictures of our pneumatic board from last year I will be sure to post it. Good Luck!
