It has everything you need to start playing with pneumatics and inflatables including high pressure and vacuum pumps, valves, and a pressure sensor on board. Pneumatics opens up a world of possibilities for a maker to explore:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMake a vacuum pick and place machine\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBlow up a balloon and have it�s size represent data\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMake a soft robot walk\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUse a syringe as a linear actuator\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eProgrammable-Air is packed with:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eTwo compressor\/vacuum pumps\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThree pneumatic valves\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA pressure sensor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIt�s all controllable via an onboard Arduino Nano.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe output from Programmable-Air is a single tube that goes into your soft robot or pneumatic actuator. By controlling the motors and valves, you can push air in or out of the actuator, or let it exchange air with the atmosphere. All while you get feedback about the state of the actuator through the pressure sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Programmable-Air library makes it easy to control the valves and pumps.
