    Please give us some additional info about the hardware, you are using.
    As well it would be interesting to know, how you have been able to connect the pots to the cylinder rods.

    Regards

    I am impressed that your pneumatic setup is able to produce rumble effects that good. I am curious what function the additional 2 cylinders have.

    I use x-sim1 beta version.
    The 2 cylinders i use is for the yaxis with a CPE14-M1BH-5/3BS-1/8 valve and 2 cylinders for the xaxis with a 4x5/2 valve for middle closed.
    I used the CPE14-M1BH-5/3BS-1/8 (yaxis) for a possible movement with the 5/2 valve (xaxis).Now you can both up and down and left or right in one movement.If i used a valve 5/3 middle closed for yaxis then it was not possible to get a movemend both with the xaxis.
    The verry strong springs are for the yaxis ,and i use for yaxis and xaxis conrad pots 10k voor a better movement.

    Hello Robert,
    :thbup: :thbup: :thbup: :clap: :clap: :clap:
    Just out of curiosity, what steered you to go to pneumatic route? Was is cost effective, how much total investment? What about the noise issue? Please advice.

    :cheers:
