Re: Piston throw control

The minimal amount of programming is a on/off switch for the single solenoid and a extended/retracted switch for the double solenoid. You can do this manually for practice. Choose the direction you want extend/retract and then turn on the single to move and turn off to stop where you want. Slow movements down by using the needle valves on the cyclinder and closing them all the way and then slightly opening them.
