Here's my latest pneumatic logic gate with differential inputs and outputs.

This one has 4-switch reversers to make it configurable for almost any

when you have the function you want.

It uses two of Kevin's 4-switch AND modules.

You can make the output go high in 1, 3, 5 or 7 of the eight combinations of
inputs A, B and C.  A table shows which combinations of reverser settings do
what.

Hi Mark,

  It sounds like the swiss army knives of pneumatic logic gates!

Seriously though, it is going to take some serious study on my part to
understand what all is going on here.  Are you putting polarity reversors on all
inputs and outputs?  Intermediate terms too?

(...) Yes, for the moment, as a demo of how versatile the circuit can be. The idea is that you find your chosen function and put permanent hose swaps in the places where you no longer need to change polarity. Then just keep reversers in the places (...) (19 years ago, 6-Sep-05, to lugnet.technic)
