So, my team is in need of a diagram, sketch, photo, anything to show us EVERYTHING needed/used on a pneumatic setup with one cylinder, pressure switch, compressor, and solenoid. I need to know what plugs in where, ie the PDB (Power Distribution board), the DS (digital sidecar), and specifically PWMs hooked where into what.

So basically I need to know EXACTLY how we wire up everything needed for the pneumatic system.

We have everything needed, such as spike relays, but don't know how to wire it all up.

for the PWM's, put it wherever the programmer wrote it for.

You will find the information you need on the FIRST website, under FRC/Resources/Technical Resources/Pneumatics. Near the end of the Pneumatics Manua (http://www.usfirst.org/sites/default/files/uploadedFiles/Robotics_Programs/FRC/Game_and_Season__Info/2012_Assets/2012%20FIRST%20Robotics%20Competition%20Pneumatics %20Manual.pdf)l you will find a great photo of the whole system setup.
