New heavy called Troublesome

[jonny]

What capacity where the tanks that you used ?

[woody]

BTW ..The system only needs a 1/8 port 5/2 valve.

ahhh right, i woulda got a 1/4 - 5/2 valve ill get one of those then

both the buffer (red bottle) and the co2 bottle (grey bottle) are 2kg gas bottles i think anyway lol

i need to get things done to this robot again!

[xtreme]

Any progress Calum?

[calumco]

nope, grant needs to finish doin my motors n gears n for the flipper bin needing to go to a steal place for ages but havnt had time or money - im going tomorrow with abit of luck cos i just got payed and im off work ill lol

[jonny]

do you know if you can use a larger valve like a 3/8 for this set up? cheers

[woody]

Note with this setup you MUST dump/vent gas from the buffer tank or the main feed to the QEV valve....that's the BIG tube......venting from other lines will cause the QEV to open and the cylinder to fire!.

[woody]

I should also have said that the size of the 5/2 valve only affects the buffer tank fill / refill time ... IMO any size will do.

thanks woody
