Re: How to hook up Nason pressure switch
The pressure switch is a digital "On / Off" switch. Really, it's just a mechanical contact internally that completes a circuit, but since it's only two states are either "On" or "Off" we (my team) call it digital.

I'm not sure what you mean by connecting the two terminals together.

You do attach a wire to each and then run them back to the digital I/O on your bot.

The third page of the pneumatics manual explains this in slightly more detail.
