Butterfly Valve Pneumatic Actuator - Clean Iac Valve. Butterfly Valve Pneumatic Actuator
"Position control of a pneumatic actuator" using a BBC Micro My final year project at Lancaster University 85/86 was reliant on the excellent BBC Micro: ideally suited to the task of controlling external equipment (in this project: a chunky pneumatic cylinder & piston). I was using the BBC Micro's "User B Port" to control a pair of mains-operated pneumatic actuator valves. And the analogue 'joystick' port (together with a multi-turn potentiometer and a gorgeous brass rack and pinion) to feed the position of the piston into the computer. All controlled with software I'd written in BBC Basic with large a large chunk of inline 6502 assembler (reprogramming interrupts to create pulse-width-modulated signals to the valves). Familiarity with this machine, and the university's VAX 11/780, got me my first job in Cambridge, and set me on my way for my subsequent career in computer support and programming. [Update: the date on the front of the project is wrong - it should say 1986. Whoops!] Numatics Express AD
