More Solenoid Trouble

[simon1636]

Hey guys! I am having trouble coding the solenoid. I want it to be so that whenever I push on the buttons on the top of the Attack 3 joystick, the solenoid opens up. The button labeled 3 on the Attack three opens the solenoid forward and the button 2 opens the solenoid backwards. However, my code does neither of this. In fact, I'm not sure if it's the code or not, but the air only come out of hole 2 of the solenoid. If you see anything that would be affecting the situation so that it doesn't work, let me know!:D :D

All the code that should run during teleop should be placed in the while loop.

So I changed it so that all the Solenoid code is in the while loop, but it still isn't working! Do any of you guys see anything else wrong with the code?
