module 7 of 12
Hands-on: plumb the air circuit, wire the controller, and write WPILib code to run the compressor and switch solenoids. Then design with real force and air-usage math.
Building, Wiring, and Programming a Pneumatic System is module 7 of 12 in the Mechanical, Build & Pneumatics guide. It picks up where The Components: Controllers, Compressor, Valves, and Cylinders left off and hands over to Safety, Rules, and Testing. Its 4 lessons are about 101 minutes of the guide's ~21 hours.
