 | | Gray code vs. Binary
|
| To all those pneumatic gurus..... The classic pneumatic timing circuit made with one switch per piston changes state following gray code (i.e. only one piston changes at a time). This means that a two piston timer goes through these states: (...) (19 years ago, 20-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) Hi Kev, I think the cheapest way to do 3 or 4-bit binary with pneumatics would be to use gray code and convert it. Gray code always changes the least significant bit possible in order to achieve a change to a new state, so there will always be (...) (19 years ago, 20-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) Haha! I've found a better way to do it, and a better drawing :-) Take my Pick and Place robot circuit: (URL) out the Elbow pistons and switch and connect the Elbow piston inputs to the Wrist piston instead (effectively draw the horozontal (...) (19 years ago, 20-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic)
