Re: FESTO question

Well the toggle/hold question is all in the programming - nothing to do with the actual pneumatics. (According to the valve, if theres electricity going through it, its in one position, no electricity in the other).

You can NOT make it into a double solenoid simply because when the robot is disabled no code is run (therefore no electricity goes to the valve and it is in that position, not the one you left it in).
