Luuuuvv It!
That is so cool. The action of the pneumatics has a nice feel to it, with the
attack/decay rate through the stroke. The RCX-controlled electric rotation,
however, leaves a bit to be desired (yes, I fully admit to nitpicking in this
case). It might have a neater, more "real" feel if the RCX were programmed to
accelerate & decelerate the motor when rotating. Easy to say, not so much so to
do, but there you are.
As for solenoids, you mention on the solenoid3 page that you need a source for
more - have you tried www.clippard.com ? Hardly surplus (read cheap), but it
might be a more stable source for the long term.
My two cents

| Smile... yeah, the motor-driven rotation leaves a bit to be desired; the pneumatic digger arm is much cooler. I was shooting for a quick "proof of concept" to test out the performance of the solenoid valves and see if I wanted to buy any. (They are (...) (25 years ago, 9-Feb-00, to lugnet.technic)
