9v system Posted August 19, 2023 Posted August 19, 2023 looks like im late to this but heres my answers for some of your questions. i used a small airbrush compressor for mine. same as @HRU_Bricks i ordered my pneumatic hoses and ev3 cables of aliexpress as you can get them in 1m lengths for the cables and 10m rolls for the hose. i would connect the pneumatic stuff as you build each part. you will have trouble getting the hoses on if you leave it to the end. i took the pressure regulator off my build as it isnt really needed same with distribution block.

Lego_GBC_NL Posted August 21, 2023 Posted August 21, 2023 Thanks @HRU_Bricks & @9v system for answering some more questions and more importantly for sharing your experience/knowledge! I'm good to go when it comes to the air compressor (will borrow one from a colleague), the EV3 cables (have some original Lego cables/20/25/35/50cm and bought a few custom cables/1m from a Dutch eBayer) and the pneumatic hoses (have +/- 15m of original Lego hose/transparent). Concerning the inlet/outlet ports: I guess I indeed need to experiment/play around a bit to find out which hose needs to be connected to which port... testing the air flows it is... bit of trial & error I guess... For sure I'm gonna connect all pneumatic parts while building as you both strongly recommend it, but to be able to do that, I still need to know the correct way/order how to connect all pneumatics. Wonder if someone is willing to verify the scheme and hopefully confirm it looks correct (perhaps not the inlet/outlet ports used, but at least some confirmation on the main connections/order of pneumatic parts within the air circuit, what's connected to what in general...). All pictures/videos available were not clear enough to be 100% sure... Oh.. and @HRU_Bricks, the scheme is made manually in Excel and Paint, didn't use any fancy tool and have no experience whatsoever with these kind of schematics So could be that things are not depicted in the best possible way...
