Thank you effe for testing!! I'll think about it tonight, maybe I write them guys at TLG

At the german Dr. Brick Community we discussed the same question - The Mind was pretty confident, that it should fit. Unfortunately I can't check it out by myself, as I don't have the servo motor on hand... May anyone with the servo please try this?

@timslegos: hey thank you, that's cool! Please let me know how it works - as in my head it's already doing its job pictures would be nice ;)

Yeah, The Mind did great testing on my ideas, I really appreciate his work!!! His version is much smaller because he does not use any gear reduction. IMHO that's fine, when you use the big speed remote control where you can access certain positions (proportional use). In my case, I wanted to develop a design for its use with the standard remote control :) Anyhow, there are a large number of possible solutions for autovalves. The more people are thinking of this, the better the result will be :) So long Boris P.S.: thank you for the warm welcome :)

Hey Tim, if you are interested in attaching the servo motor to a pneumatic switch, have a look at my design studies for an autovalve. This may give you an idea about how this can be done. I will test it as soon as I get the motor or it is released by ldraw.org. cheers, Boris

Hi Spider-Man, thank you for your warm welcome :) Believe me, I can't wait to see it done, too ;)

Hi there :) since the first pictures and videos of the new PF servo motor are available on the net, I was thinking about its possibility to use it for a pneumatic autovalve. Previously I posted some ideas in the german Doktor Brick Community - and I don't want to keep it back from you :) Just to remind you, as I wrote in my short introduction, I use the SR 3D Builder for developing my ideas and concepts due to a lack of time, money and bricks. So here it is, my autovalve using the servo motor. Actually there are two versions, one of 9x3x7 LE (autovalve03) and one of 11x3x6 LE (LxWxH) (autovalve04). I chose a 1:3 gear ratio as I wanted to use the standard remote control which turns the servo only +/- 90°. With the gear reduction I won't stress the pneumatic switch too much Many many thanks to The Mind from the Dr. Brick Community for testing and filming The first images are v.03 with the servo attached upside down - the violet parts should symbolize the motor's connections. autovalve03-01 von alpin-ingenieur autovalve03-02 von alpin-ingenieur autovalve03-03 von alpin-ingenieur autovalve03-04 von alpin-ingenieur autovalve03-05 von alpin-ingenieur The last two images are for v.s04 where the motor is attached with its front face. autovalve04-01 von alpin-ingenieur autovalve04-02 von alpin-ingenieur Thanks for watching :) So long, Boris

Hey guys, my name is Boris, 26 years old from somewhere in between Frankfurt and Wiesbaden in Germany Starting playing with Lego as a child and later Lego Technic, there soon came a long break without my beloved bricks as my life's focus changed to finishing school and studying applied physics. Finally, the end is near and I hopefully will be able to continue developing and engineering using Lego Technic. My latest project, which I'm dreaming of since I was a child, is to build a Pistenbully 600W polar, scale 1:12, fully remote controlled and as close to the original as possible. I suppose, this will cost me quite some time and money :) As long as I don't have enough time (end of my studies is near ), space (new flat is coming ), money (job contract is closed ) and parts (big list on Bricklinks ) I use the SR 3D Builder for my MOCs. So long Boris P.S.: some of you may know me from the german "Doktor Brick Community" by the same nickname
