Re: Pneumatics Extend Automatically
A single solenoid will always move the cylinder to one or the other position. When the robot is disabled, the solenoid will always be in its off position, and the cylinder will consequently always be in the same position. If you would like the piston to be in the other position when the robot is disabled, you need to switch the hoses going to the two ends of the cylinder.
