Re: Connecting Pneumatics to make it achieve 115 psi

OK, you need in the line:
1. Compressor (with safety valve screwed into it)
2. Gauge (for high pressure side)
3. Pneumatic switch (so the cRio can control the compressor)
4. A "tee" connector, one side of which goes to the...
5a. Pressure release valve
...and the other side of the Tee that goes to...
5b. the main (all black) regulator
6. Gauge (for low pressure side)
7. Rest of robot

(Before the regulator, you may want another Tee in there, going to one or more Clippard storage tanks - that helps performance)
