    Re: MERLIN valves & sensors —Joe Strout
   (...) Did you catch that these are *proportional* air valves? A LEGO mechanical air switch is not proportional, is it? (Genuine question -- I haven't gotten my hands on one yet, so I could be mistaken about that.) (...) Those are cool, but they only (...) (20 years ago, 5-Sep-04, to lugnet.robotics)

   (...) LEGO switches certainly aren't proportional - but I question the value of proportional pneumatic controls. The pressure either side of the valve will equalize very rapidly even if the control is opened only a small amount. Proportional valves (...) (20 years ago, 5-Sep-04, to lugnet.robotics)
   
        Re: MERLIN valves & sensors —Ross Crawford
   (...) But if you have a feedback system, the speed at which it activates is very important to avoid overshoot. Unfortunately the LEGO pneumatic switches do not make it easy to create feedback circuits, as they require a lot of force and have a (...) (20 years ago, 5-Sep-04, to lugnet.robotics)
