    hello
    Someone has a profile example, how to configure a proportional valve in x-sim. (with a Velleman 110)
    thanks Charles :sos: :sos:
    sorry for my bad english

    Hi Charles

    If you have a proportional valve already, let me know the spec/serial number and I'll have a look at a profile solution for you

    If not, hold on for a week or two - I am actually working on a K8055 based pnumatic rig myself right now ;)

    I have the components arriving at the end of the week for final prototype, though I am not looking to use a proportional valve... they're far too expensive (and if my rig works correctly, unnecessary!) My basic pneumatic solution is unlike any of the ones posted previously, is very simple and comparatively cheap, and should operate with variable speed... I'm afraid only testing will confirm this - I have nothing to compare it to!

    I will start a new thread with a full set of instructions when I have it built :thbup:

    Regards

    Tim

    Good to hear you have your problem fixed! :thbup:

    Regards

    Tim

    PS. you wont have to be curious for too much longer - I have just finished building the electrical parts of the setup - just waiting on the cylanders and valves now...
