Festool Locking Slide

Blast gate for 57mm Festool vacuum cleaner connections or the original Festool Y-piece for switching between two connected devices.

Update 25.02.2025: I have created a new version in which a 9g servo can be installed to control the gate with an Arduino or similar microcontrollers. I am currently developing a separate control box and matching code for this. The aim is a simple box with plug connectors to which up to 5 servos can be connected without much effort and very cost-effectively, and these can either be opened and closed automatically by current flow sensors or the gates can be switched individually via a touch button.

I will create a new upload containing all the relevant information as soon as I am finished. However, the files here are also very useful for anyone who already has their own control system.
