Wireless control
Looking to build a wireless control to operate a small group of proportional hydraulic solenoid valves, (4 total). Would like to use your PID 3102 joysticks. What do you recommend for other components?

Re: Wireless control
What do you need to control the proportional hydraulic solenoid valves with? What do they do and how do you need to control them ( sensitivity, travel, and such)? The more info you give us the more precise we can answer.

Re: Wireless control
Looking to control the valves with joysticks. I am wanting to have flow control from 0-100% doing this via a wireless control. These solenoids operate 2 double acting hyd. cylinders and 2 bi-directional hyd. motors. One motor drives a worm gear the other a winch. This is for a small mobile crane on a service truck. The existing set up uses standard solenoid coils which are controlled by a tethered remote using momentary contact switches. This allows for little to no control. Everything is either on or off, no feathering. Power supply will be 12Vdc and minimal wireless range is needed. Ideally I'd like to have a belly box setup with 2 joysticks, an E-stop and possibly 2-4 additional control provisions for lighting and possibly a remote start for the truck.

Does anyone have any insight on this?

Re: Wireless control
There are still too many undefined options to offer suggestions. If you don't like the existing solenoid controls, you'll need to choose another control method like valves or pumps.
We don't know much about hydraulics, so we can't offer anything particularly useful.
