Re: Pressure regulator

I've had this idea for awhile. Is there any rule that might prohibit attaching a servo to the dial on one of the kit regulators? No modification to the regulator is necessary if done properly.
Program the servo to turn to different positions based on buttons on the OI. Because the regulators vent excess pressure, excess pressure would be vented if the dial is turned to a lower setting while the system is charged.

Re: Pressure regulator

Look at the SMC ITV series:

or put "electronic pressure regulator" into GOOGLE for more options.

You may want to look at this Q&A Forum answer.
