Triggy,
Thank you. Very well done!
Straight to the point. Love it.
Simply demonstrated very well
The perfect video. Dude. S-Tier. I cannot describe how thankful I feel every time I land on a video as well-made as this one. You made my day. Thank you.
A little fast, but I love how detailed you were in explaining each step! Nice work.
Thanks! I wanted to keep it under 5 minutes since it's not a complete project, just an intro / explanation video, but maybe that wasn't necessary ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@itstriggy4814 it was a perfect video and straight to the point.
@@itstriggy4814 Stay Fast!!!! Ive been looking everywhere for someone like this. Can't state how refreshing the rapid fire content was.
And yet we all know why his girlfriend made him make this
@@itstriggy4814 no it's awesome, means it's easy to repeat it as I need to. Only thing I'd add is having the model number of the transistor in the description was easy to find anyway but may be difficult for those a bit hard of hearing or without strong English knowledge.
A colleague and I are using this video of yours as reference. Nice one!
Glad to hear it!
Love from Tamil Nadu...mass bro...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thnx this helped me a lot
Congratulations, I subscribed to your channel, as this is an excellent demonstration, a good reason to associate my machines with arduino, Like 2.3K
Hey Triggy, nice work. Consider doing a follow up on flyback diodes for the valve. The back EMF from the valve coil will destroy your indicator LEDs in short order.
Nice catch! I've included it in the circuit diagram in the description.
@@itstriggy4814 I want to know what or which diode can be used. Can you give a suggestion ?
@@antoniohernandez8367 1N4007 should do the trick
@@itstriggy4814 Thanks for the info !
Hello Triggy,
Thank you very much for your prompt and good answer.
Your project is very good for my application and I'm currently working to adapt your solution to my own project.
If anything should be unclear to me I will contact you for some explanations, with your permission.
Have a nice weekend.
Kind regards,
Sorin.
Would be super awesome if you included a shopping bag or links for parts so that viewers could try to build what you're building!
I put some links in the description!
@@itstriggy4814 thank you! Its wonderful to watch learn, and DOING is the best way to master material. Ty again
Very interesting!!!
Excellent! New sub.
Thanks Jeff!
one of the best tutorials on this out there! thank you very much! quick accurate and precise!
I was just briefly surprised that the two voltage grounds are connected! Isn't it best to keep them separate? It seems to me as a recipe for fried circuitry? (but I'm no electronics genius so please explain.)
Thanks
Thanks Jakob!
You do in fact want to connect the grounds. Ground defines the point where there is zero voltage, so connecting the grounds ensures that the 5V and 12V have the save reference point.
Hey instead of connecting it to a air compressor, can you connect it to like a small air reservoir tank and would that still work? And is there any good recommendations for a small air reservoir tank, something for a robotics project?
Wow..u product exclnt.i love my projek long time for agro cocunut tree
could you make a video where you show if and how you can control the position of a pneumatic cylinder with an arduino? Especially with a 5/3 valve would be great, or with something like a magnetic sensor that pneumatic cylinders come with sometimes.
thanks!
Hello, can you please re-upload the circuit diagram? The link doesn't seem to work. Thanks!
Amazing video!! Would you happen to know what kind of connectors you used for the 12 volt battery and the solenoid valve? Thanks!
Sorry for the late reply! they're called tamiya connectors
hey. good day ,were you still active today? i would like to know more about this mini hydraulic cylinder. What's the dimensions of your hydraulic cylinder? i was planning to build a landing gear for my adventure bike. since it was so tall and I'm just 5'1 of height. your video was great
what we can do if we dont have compressor insted of it we have double size of the cilynder . and we have to re use the same filed air
thanks a LOT

Hi Triggy, nice build! I wanted to see if there is any way to adjust how much pressure goes into the pneumatic cylinder? I am trying to put together a Tamping Machine where I can adjust timing and force
Yep, look up pressure regulator :)
How do we control the extension rate?
Question: do you have to connect lights and a transistor to the breadboard or are they just in this project?
Also, what battery is he using?
Hello! Thank you for the video, it was of great help.
I am actually doing a project where I have to rotate a small crib of certain angles using pneumatic cylinders. Would you have any advice for controlling the position of the cylinder to define precisely the angle of rotation of the crib?
it would require more parts like a proportional pneumatic valve and a position sensor on the cylinder to have that kind of control.
Could you please do a video on how to connect a NE555 to a solenoid via a SSR. Its for a lightgun recoil. Thank you
Hi! Do you think you could show how to do this with a solenoid valve bank?
So I have a 21.4 V-24.5 V DC solenoid could I connect same way as this 12V one?
Just switch out the 12 V battery for a 24V current ?
Can you show the circuit diagram on how to connect to the mosfet and what items to use? You link does not work anymore.
Hi Sir am interested with the same design but can it be used or designed for car acceleration and deceleration mechanisn
that pneumatic can withstand vehicle wheel load? I want to make tyre killer and I couldnt find yet whether I should use pneumatic or hydralic
A circuit diagram of the Arduino/breadboard would be helpful. Other than that, great video. Clear, concise and informative.
Yes - I'd want it too.
Here's the circuit diagram: www.patreon.com/posts/43812212
@@itstriggy4814 I get a blank screen at that link.... I have purchased all the parts for this I just need the diagram... thanks.
Me too, can you perhaps post it a different way?
This is great. Very nicely done. How can I control the speed of the cylinder action using an Arduino. You mentioned something about the exhaust outputs but can these be controlled electronically?
hmm that's definitely more tricky. I'm not sure how that would be done, let me know if you find anything!
Excellent tutorial. Any suggestions for a short stroke (2 - 4") pneumatic actuator?
I would also really like to know if a pneumatic actuator length of stroke can be controlled please.
This came at a perfect time for me as I've wanted to learn to design pneumatic systems.
Liked and subbed!
could you make a video about how to choose a pneumatic cylinder please?
The circuit diagram not available anymore 😢
Is it a good idea to use pneumatic cylinder to a hydraulic bicycle brake caliper? Or should i just directly connect it to the brake caliper?
Can we build this project without using air compressor? Because I am working on a project to make a compact flipper robot?
Great video, Triggy-thanks! I'm wondering how I could incorporate a capacitive proximity sensor to control the cylinder. Would you have any suggestions?
For position control? From what I've seen, it's notoriously challenging without buying a $300+ sensor. I'm not familiar with capacitive proximity sensors specifically, though my intuition is that they might have trouble measuring accurately over the whole range of the stroke (in my case 175mm). Let me know if you find any good solutions!
@@itstriggy4814 I was actually thinking about a sensor that would simply activate an air cylinder when you place a bottle in a set position. It would be a substitute for pressing a button or a pedal.
@@macwol Oh, that should be pretty easy! Just check for a signal from your sensor in the loop of your Arduino code, and if the signal is high (and the piston isn't already activated), activate the piston.
www.seeedstudio.com/Grove-PIR-Motion-Sensor.html
@9YearsLater It might be easier to have him press a button if his hands allow, but if you're keen on the voice idea, check out my JARVIS video! It covers basically exactly that.
Can you add where you got these materials and what exact thing to buy
I have a question..
What is the cheapest option because I need multiple cylinders which will be controlled with sensors.
Adding to the requests for a wiring diagram. I have a very hard time seeing exactly what MOSFET pins are connected to LEDs/Resistors. REally hesitant to power this thing up without knowing what might cause a fire :) also, for future viewers, dropping code in the description would be very helpful.

@@itstriggy4814 Awesome. Thanks so much! I was able to get things working (and diagnose that I'd blown several MOSFETs due to insufficient resistance). I also built a simulation in TinkerCad, and added a photoresistor circuit to make it light (i.e., motion) activated for props www.tinkercad.com/embed/1rdzFZYw81P
@@itstriggy4814 Hey man this link is no good... still got the wiring diagram? Thanks for the video, super helpful!
Can we use any other transistor ?
Hey nice video! I was wondering how powerful of an air compressor do I need to move the piston?
110 PSI should be fine
Hello, where did you buy your quick connect with push on? I'm in Canada. Thanks :)
Princess Auto has everything you need in this video, except the Arduino.
Is the pneumatic cylinders able to move slower?
I want the circuit diagram can you help me with that. Link that you’ve given is not opening.
Good. Air from? No details about the compressor.
Can you have variable speed AND stop it half way and it still hold a load. Does the compressor have to be 'ON' to hold a load.Thanks
What PSI do you regulate the compressor at for that cylinder speed you are getting?
Is it possible to open the pneumatic cylinder partially/slowly by replacing the solenoid with something?
how could you program the rod to move partially?

Hey man, i love your video and have some questions about the working of the arduino. How to DM you?
Would this pump work with any gas? Or do I hate to use a big air pump, because I want to make something that would fit on me
Do you have an Amazon link for the quick connect with push fitting that you used? I can't find one.
It looks like it comes with the pneumatic cylinder
Is there a way i could vary pressure using valves
How many can you connect and control individually with this type of set up?
Can you point me to a light duty air pump and a tank that can do the job ?
Can you give me detail of item for this project? Plist list with spec.. thank you
Pls do for automatic pneumatic door with ardino bro
What is the difference between this fqp30n06l and a relay?
what if i need to connect two cylinders on the same arduino board? can i hook two of them to the same board?
Comment for the algorithm to help the channel 👍 👍👍👍.
Very kind of you!
Can you make one without air and that has power to lift 150 pounds that runs on 12 volts?
i think its happy to see me
I want to do this with two cylinders acting in unison. Would simply adding Tees between the output ports and the cylinder ports work or would two valves be required?
You should be good with just one valve and some Y connect fittings from amazon
So I have to permanently keep an air compressor hooked up to my pneumatic cylinder?
Is there a circuit diagram for this?
Can you ensure that the flow of air is gradual and not so rapid so that the piston comes out a bit slowly?
i think you’d do that by reducing the air pressure. pneumatics are usually used for snappy responses like this
Hello there great tutorial I need some help I'm kind of a beginner. I'm trying to make a animatronic like showbiz which needs a lot of Pneumatic Cylinders and I wouldn't have enough room for a bunch of breadboards to control each Cylinder so is it possible I could use something like relays to control it instead of the circuit you showed in this wonderful video?
the Arduino has like 14 digital output pins so you can control up to 14 valves with one controller. A relay could take the place of the MOSFET that was used in this demo.
Can I do the same with my raspberry Pi with a bit of modifications? Is there any safety precautions I need to take? Please help me .
Hello, may i get the circuit diagram for this video pls? I cant open it
Hello Triggy,
What are the sizes of the two resistors you used? Are they equal sizes or different? Thank you very much. Regards, Sorin.
Hi Sorin, the resistors for the LEDs? LEDs run at around 20mA, so those resistors are just to limit current flow. Using ~500ohms should be fine for all of them. resistor = voltage / 0.02 amps
Sir what size did u use pneumatic cylinder?
sir, it's a very fabulous video. I just need the coding can u please send me the coding and the names of equipment required.
Veery good
What praiz.
@4:00 starts dancing
Can you post the circuit diagram again?
Any body know the rating of diode and transistor given in circuit diagram ....?
Where can I get a battery for this??
I’m new to this stuff and was wondering how could I do multiple of the pneumaticS in one Arduino script? Like pretend I wanted to control an arm, how could I make it to where I click like an arrow on my keyboard to trigger one of the pneumatic cylinders?
Notice how the video only uses a single Arduino digital pin. That means you can duplicate the set-up and just attach it to another digital pin! :) You will probably want to hook up both valves to the same battery, no need to get two. Just make sure they're attached in parallel!
Heyy... May I know what type of arduino that u used in this vid ??
And I wonder that if this thing will also work if I change the type pneumatic cylinder to a bigger bore,length and stroke ??
Glad hear from you soon..
I'm not 100% sure but the arduino he's using is an arduino Mega, and as for your second question, you should be able to use a different kind of piston, however be sure to check it's compatibility with the rest of your components, especially the pneumatic fittings.
Hi, What should I type to buy power supply, I have pneumatic cylinder and air compressor but I need to connect them in the power Thank you!
"pneumatic tubing and fittings" should get you there
Bro can I get circuit diagram for this
Is it possible to control 2 actuators at the same time with the same button? I've been looking for a way to do it.
Absolutely, just connect the positive lead of each valve to the transistor terminal instead of just one. And of course negative to ground for both as well.
Can i get the coding for the Arduino?
Hey, can you give links to where you bought these? I'm not sure where to buy reliable components
I noticed the model is visible at 1:27, a Tailonz 4V210-08, and found it here: www.amazon.com/Tailonz-Pneumatic-Solenoid-4V210-08-Pilot-Operated/dp/B07SJFV7S3/
I've put links in the description! :)
What kind of battery is that?
So this is the Anton chigurh weapon
Hi could you please share circuit diagram and code ?
Hey
Do you have a circuit diagram/schematic available, the on linked doesn't work and sends me to and empty patreon site :)
Hm yeah for some reason the "share post" link seems to be linking to my patron account, not my creator account... Have any ideas where else to host the image?
how much psi?
The link is not working for the circuit diagram. Is there a way to get it ?
The solenoid could work if i just using the power supply from arduino??
Nope :) th-cam.com/video/anWYPt_wVo4/w-d-xo.html
What's the minimum spec compressor you can recommend for this type of pneumatic cylinder? Thanks
It depends entirely on what you want to do with the cylinder. The cylinder will move with as little as like 10 PSI, but won't be able to really move anything. The smaller the compressor, the more often you have to fill it up, or keep it running during operation. If you only need the cylinder to actuate once or twice between refills, you could get away with a very small tank.
The compressor I use here is one of the cheaper and smaller ones. I think it was $99. That'll be tough to beat.
hey man I have a project where I need to connect 4 cylinder to build a sorting machine, how to connect all 4 cylinders to the Arduino and not make them all work at the same time (each has to activate when commanded) . I don't know how to explain this properly but this is a little the idea.
Just use four transistors, one for each cylinder, and connect each to its own pin
