Re: toggle switch

check the electrical section of the pneumatics manual. You only need one spike per cylinder. The two valves can be controlled by the FWD and REV outputs off the spike, using battery ground for the return.

or you can use two diodes, so that FWD powers one valve, and REV (reversed voltage) powers the other valve.

remember the spike has three output states: forward, reverse, and off.
