Piston Controller V1

Description
This Piston Controller moves pistons like hydraulic rams!
Weld it to contraptions, connect the orange dot from the smart engine controller to all pistons you want to control, connect buttons to points A and B, finally modify all values below you need to change and then have fun with
hydraulics!

If you want to try what these numbers mean, just spawn one example and connect a piston - with something attached to it - and buttons as described above and try to move the piston. Then just change some numbers and see what effect it has ; )

Thanks a ton for uploading this!
I've been scouring the internet for hours, trying to find tutorials for how to fine tune piston controls, and haven't found jack squat.
Then I randomly stumble over this complete unit, with comprehensive instructions and a handy chart for what is what.
This is awesome. Great job putting it together!
