Thread: Leg/Ankle/Air Blaster

Tweet

I would like to build simple air jets that shoot for about 1 second when someone steps on a pressure pad. I know how about the solenoid. I assume I should use the pressure mat from Harbor Frieght. But I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on a controller. I know I could use a picoboo, that that seems way overkill.

It is important to me to have a short burst and then a pause time (about 30 seconds) before it fires again if someone stays on the mat or is repetatively stomping on it.

Thoughts?

These work great.

I agree the picoboo103 is overkill unless you are running more then one.
