Re: Pneumatics Code

Hey, I got an idea!

Since I can't really know the pressure (without buying an expensive item...we are flat broke for this project. ) I decided to make my own gauge...thing.

I made a new integer, called compressorValue, and I will use that to store the value of the pressure left. I can do some tests, and see how much pressure is used by firing one shot, and how much is added in X amount of seconds of the compressor running...

But, this is where my question is. :/
Will the times change based on the pressure? Eg: Will it increase quicker at first, then increase slower as the pressure builds? Or is the compressor (the ones that came in the KoP) powerful enough that this resistance is negligible?
