LEGO NXT Pneumatic Arm

You can control the robot arm using 3 buttons on the NXT : orange to select the function, left and right to initiate the movement. There are 4 possible motions : turning and lifting is controlled by NXT engines, stretching and the hand are controlled with the NXTServo controlled Pneumatic valves (by Mindsensors).

How did you find the NXTServo controlled pneumatics

[ramacc0]

@burf2000 You can get them at mindsensors . com. Look in category "RC servos and mounting kits" for "Servo Operated Pneumatic Valve Kit (includes valve)"

[burf2000]

@ramacc0 Oh I know that sorry, I mean how did you find them to use?

I can't warrant buying a servo controller to, I will probably go with the Dexter Lab version as thats normal NXT

[ramacc0]

@burf2000 I have Beta-tested them for Mindsensors. 

[ramacc0]

Agreed an airtank would be an advantage, however I wanted to show that it is possible without one.

[burf2000]

@ramacc0 How do you get the chance to do that? I know Xander does quite a bit of beta testing for sensors
