How to use a pneumatic cylinder | Arduino tutorial

Hey everyone! If this video went a little fast, and you would like a BEGINNER ARDUINO TUTORIAL. check this video out; youtube.com/watch?v=vS2-lkh3hM8&t=249s . In this video, the basics of Arduino are explained IN DEPTH. So check it out, if you would like to broaden your knowledge.


PARTS:

Cylinder (Recommended): amzn.to/2NG5Qna

Tubing: amzn.to/2NJtIWO

Tube connectors: amzn.to/2CfAz8p

1/4" female to 1/8" male (for air compressor fitting): amzn.to/2NH5Jb0

Air compressor intake fittings: amzn.to/2yluNzc

OPTIONAL Air dispursers: amzn.to/2J1MdW1

OPTIONAL speed controller (Airflow adjuster): amzn.to/2pTAiRl

Solenoid: amzn.to/2CidK4a

Relay: amzn.to/32Ia85U

Air compressor (I use and like): amzn.to/2CNW2q6

Arduino: amzn.to/2xCHm8V

9V battery connector for Arduino: amzn.to/2RNycyY

(Optional) Wired power for Arduino: amzn.to/2pUpZMQ

Wiring for Arduino: amzn.to/2xApX0y

Motion sensor: amzn.to/2Cfr4pM

plumbers tape: amzn.to/2CjoAqe

Power adaptor with connections: amzn.to/2IUh5r8




___________CODE____________


int sol = 8; //Tell the Arduino that the positive end of the solenoid is
//plugged into pin 8


int sen = 1; //Tell the Arduino that the positive end of the Sensor is
//plugged into pin 1


void setup() { //this is included in every code we will be
//dealing with. This part runs once.


pinMode(sol, OUTPUT); //These two lines tell the Arduino if the
pinMode(sen, INPUT); // connections are INPUTS or OUTPUTS
}

void loop() { // this will run continuously after the Void setup has
// run once

int val = digitalRead(sen); // Instate a new variable, that is reading
// whether the sensor is sensing
//movement or not. (High or Low)

if(val == HIGH){ //If statutes ask the Arduino if the
//sensor value is reading HIGH (movement)

digitalWrite(sol, HIGH); // if it is high we will send power
// to the solenoid
delay(1000);


}else{ // if it is high we will send power
// to the solenoid
digitalWrite(sol, LOW);
delay(1000);

}
