I have some pneumatic examples (including a pressure switch) on my website.
Once you're there select menu 2.

Have fun,
Bert

That is a really nice way to drive the pneumatics
system from a motor! Excellent!! It opens the door
to RCX controlled pneumatic "effectors" rather neatly.
You can hide the motor and pump assembly in the "guts"
of the beast while placing the cylinder where the
action is required - without the weight penalty of
using the motor itself at the end of arms or other
appendages.

I see no reason why multiple pump/switch combinations
of this type shouldn't share a common blue tank.

Your comments about not running the thing continuously
are well taken - waste of electrical (battery?) power
and needless wear and tear on the pump and gears.

So does this mean an RCX compatible pressure sensor might
become more than just a one of a kind curiosity? Should
I set to work?

Hi there,
here is the 2nd version of a pneumatic pump and
switch using a single motor. Whenever the motor
runs, the pump produces pressure. Depending on the
direction the motor turns, the valve will switch
into the one or the other direction.

If you like it, just give me a note.
