Tech Thursday 010: Pneumatics

[SuperDroidKeymaster]

Pneumatics opens up a world of possibilities when it comes to robotics. You could write a book on applications of pneumatics but for now we will start with the basics. Knowing what you need is sometimes harder than knowing how it works. For this example we are going to control an air cylinder extend and return slowly. We will be using a switch to turn on a solenoid valve and exhaust valves to control the speed that the cylinder extends and retracts.
