Thread: Computer to control Air Bag solenoids?

So is there any update on this air ride control issue. I am looking into it myself and want to know is there an easier way of doing this for a computer to control my air ride suspension.

pressure sensors to move to the correct height and or pressure settings of the air bag (this is dependent on how efficiently you want to control your suspension). Intermediate positions between min and max should be achievable to a resolution of at least 1/10th the total range of travel, based on the distance from the chassis to the ground surface or pressure in the bag.

- Display the pressure(s) or height(s) in real-time in each airbag and pressure holding tank(s).

- Provide pre-set functions that will automatically adjust the height of the vehicle to low, high, or ride.
- Enable users to create their own batch of commands that will automatically control the vehicle's height based on sequencing (show purposes only).

This is a snippet of what the control application is capable of doing. It has also been incorporated as Digital Mod for StreetDeck as well.

This floated past my window un-noticed - I think this should be in its own thread

I wanted to do something like this to make my adjustable racing coilovers adjustable from the PC whilst driving.
Each on has a little thumbs screw on the top of it with 24 click adjustment. I thought of sticking some stepper motors on out of some busted printers I have. And controlling it all with either LPT or a USB Stepper Controller. Never got round to it though

Don't do it...just don't!

Thats was constructive
