SUMMARY
The discussion centers on implementing a vacuum pump kill switch that activates when a specific vacuum level is reached. The user seeks guidance on literature and components, specifically mentioning the need for a vacuum pressure switch. Concerns are raised about whether shutting off the pump would compromise the vacuum, emphasizing the importance of an airtight chamber and check valve. The user also inquires about the feasibility of using a CPLD circuit in this setup.
