Now if you could give some info how to connect them to work
the Lego
pneumatic cylinders. Presumably you would need two of the
solenoid
valves to control each Lego pneumatic cylinder to move the
piston to and
fro.

Your assessment is correct - it would take two valves for a
Lego cylinder just as it does for a fischertechnik cylinder.


Btw, the Dacta Advanced Pneumatics Set (#9633) is a good way
to get into
Lego pneumatics. It includes all the parts for an motorised
air
compressor. Also all the parts except for another motor, for
a motorised
pneumatic valve switch. So you can really compare the
mechanical Lego
pneumatic valve with the Fischertechnik electrical solenoid
valve. Do
post your findings.

My next post on this will come after receiving the kit. Its
good to hear that the mechanical valve design is in the set. I was going to
put one together myself. If you have any good ideas on how best to compare
these two systems let me know.
