To have a pressure sensor would be very nice. You could
have multiple of the pumps & switches (using a single air
tank). Depending on the pressure the RCX can control the
time that is needed to recover pressure. And whenever
you need some extra power, you can pump up to higher
pressure in advance before switching.
So, where is the ultimative pressure sensor? When
combining mindstorms with pneumatics it is urgendly
needed.

| 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 (...) (23 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics)
