Today we’re trying out some pneumatics! These are air-pumps and valves that allow folks to make inflatable project. We start with a pump that pushes air into a balloon thru an open valve. Then we close the valve to verify the balloon stays inflated. Then we release the valve and the air empties out! Works great!
Usually it’s hard to find low cost parts for these kinds of projects so we’re excited to get them into the Adafruit shop soon – Video.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!

I can’t find the pneumatic pump and valves on the site. Am I overlooking something, or are they "coming soon"?
Thanks.
