Re: adjustable pressure regulator

one option is to use a quick exhasut valve for fast release

calibrate the system to exhasut through the solenoid valve for a short kick, then have a second loop which can exhaust through a quck exhaust valve releasing air faster for a longer shot.

similar function could be achieved with flow controls on the exhaust side of the valves, have 2 loops set at different rates.
