I'm assuming it's a double acting. What is the center position of the solenoid? A and B both closed? Both to Exhaust? No center position?

Nope.

Here's a part number for you though (see mcmaster): 6124K511

How are you precisely varying the timing of the pulse to the solenoid? Are you just counting cycles in the teleop periodic loop? Does that limit you to about 20ms increments? Do you need anything more precise than that?

So many questions...

This is very cool stuff.

I'll let Sergio get back to you on the pulse control... I'm not sure how fast his program loop cycles.
