Closed circuit
is there any way of creating a closed circuit pneumatics?
so what would happen would be that u would flip a switch and it would go up or is there a substitute for the micro controller that would go on the robot? |

Re: Closed circuit
Yes, there is. The RC sends a small signal to the spike which sends a larger +12 volt output to the pneumatic solenoid. If you were to hook the solenoid to +12V directly, or even with a switch in between, it should work fine.
The switch must be able to handle the current (number of Amps) that the solenoid requires. I don't have the specs off hand, so i don't know what that value is. This would be against the FIRST rules, so you would not be able to do this for a competition, but it will work to test, or if you are using pneumatics for another purpose. |
