Re: controling extension on piston

We had great success with using the optional magnet they give with the pistons, this is good if you have a piston that is a little to long for the job.

If someone has said this before, let me know.
Try writing an algorithm that counts how long you press the activation button. Have it proportional to the air that will be "pumped" into the piston. Now you may need a component that limits air flow gradually. (sorry no idea where to get one. )
