As I am learning Arduino, I test out using one with a light sensor and a relay to open and close an air valve that will eventually be used to build “Star Trek” style automatic air powered doors.

Just a guess, but I'll bet those doors have to be pretty light weight, if you want them to move at standard Trek speed. Otherwise the inertia might be a problem..
How cool.
Arduino controllers are so cool. I saw on Youtube a completely automated aquaponics system using one.
This is amazing. You've inspired me to do something. I don't know what yet, but I'm going to do something.
I really want to get into this Arduino stuff with my kids, it's like magic.
Ben, where did you source the cylinder and air valve?
Hi!! i'm currently working on a project and we are having trouble figuring out the code for a pneumatic arm. Where can i find the code that works exactly like yours? much appreciated!
Really cool dude
+BenjaminNelson Hi, I am really interested in the circuit you have made in this tutorial. Would you be able to give me some more guidance on the type of relay air valve that you purchased, ie size or manufacturer. Also can you specify the two types of battery and why you need two? I am a complete novice and would really appreciate the advice as this is going towards my university degree. Thanks
Sir?..what company can I order that type of pneumatic air cylinder?
Sir? what company for we to order that type of pneumatic cylinder? because we need a stroke like that.
Putting the hydrolics in the mid section of each door as they hang at the side of the frame would allow you to have a flat wall design and side pressure to seal the door. The rubber seal should be in the tooth design he chose as it would hide it when closed.. A pulley system with one ac driven motor would work as well.
bri i need the ardunio coding and the connections list
can you share technicalities of this project?
Mr.Ben
Please explain the connection of Electronic Circuit.
I have a piston(100 mm stroke) , Relay, Selonid , photo cell & Arduino (now i want to control the piston movement to move 25 mm only not the whole 100 mm stroke after seeing the object by photocell , is that applicable by Arduino?
