Various NITRA (Automation Direct) Fittings, tubes, reducers, etc.
I used 1/4" tubing internally. I used a standard air compressor quick connect fitting connected to a bulkhead to 1/4" PTC. Also needed are speed reducers if a rotary actuator is used. I found mine to be to quick for my loader piece, and would jamm frequently without being a slowed down.

Power Supply (12v & 5v)
I Purchased a Mean Well dual output switching supply from Jameco. The Relays and Propeller board run off of 12v, whilst the Raspberry Pi needs 5v. This was a great power supply for that reason.

Nitra (Automation Direct) Solenoid Valves
I Have two solenoid valves, both are 110v AC. One is a single action, the other is dual action for the rotary actuator which does not have spring return. These may vary based on the fittings you have, and the actuators.
