Solenoid and compressor help
 

Sorry i dont mean to post another thread but our team leaves tomorrow for our regional competition and i cannot get my compressor or solenoids to work! it is probably because of my code but im not sure! can anyone help me through this step by step? It would honestly be the greatest thing ever!
-compressor
-1 double ended SMC solenoid
-2 Pneumatic cylinders

Re: Solenoid and compressor help
 

Judging by the fact that you think it is is being caused by code, you should post in the Programming forum for your respective language. (Or at the very least make it clear what programming language you use and what you currently have)

Sorry i will post there but for the sake of perhaps using some of your expertise i will post the code here aswell can you take a look?:)

Re: Solenoid and compressor help
 

Then why didn't you post in the thread you already started?

That looks like the code you posted originally, before you received advice on what the parameters should be for initializing Solenoid and Compressor objects.

I posted that code again because i tried editing mycode and it didnt work! But i have solved it now thank you very much you were a great help!!:)
