It was our team's first time working with pneumatics and we reached several issues when getting the intended results. We wired the compressor to two cylinders in parallel, then to the two-action solenoid, and then to the piston.
However, we did not achieve the amount of power we wished for, even with the maximum pressure
. Two cylinders were used, and the piston used was the one close to the size of the cylinders.
The two action cylinder did not give the intended results when it came to kicking and retracting. When wiring the front, and back to the two-action solenoid, the kicking (although weak) occurred at a near-to-expected speed, but the retraction acted as if there was some resistance; retracting slowly. This is a problem, considering the 2 second limit.
A diagram with an explanation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks you
