Thanks for the appreciative reply!

It's been a while since I made a post here.

I've made some serious advancements in my Robotics Lab since then.

I've added a Pneumatics control board to my Lab which allows me to control compressed air into various Pneumatic Pistons and also some Suction cup end effectors for my Robotic Arms.

Check it out! It's pretty sweet.



This above is the Robotics area during the addition phase of the Pneumatics Control board. A BIG mess of junk all over the place. You can see the control board on the Wall to the left.



Here above is the Pneumatics Control Board. Which entails a Pressure Regulator and an Air Dryer to remove moisture from the input lines. Also connected, is a Digital Pressure switch for interfacing to the Robot Control Modules. I then have three separate Solenoid Manifold units, for channeling the Air Pressure through various tubes attached. These are essentially decks of electro-magnets that open air flow valves when you send a logic High voltage to the units input connections.

Each unit here has eight channels to use. So this gives me a total of 24 Channels to channel the Pressurized air into different pistons or other Pneumatic devices. You can also see the Vacuum Generator on the Right Bottom side of the Control Board. This device will take a compressed air input and create a vacuum for connecting suction cup end effectors.
Pretty Awesome!!
