Need help programming double solenoids!
I am a member of team 4528, the Automatons. I need help figuring out why my pneumatics code for double solenoids won't work.
Code:
package org.usfirst.frc.team4528.robot; |

Please explain what you mean by "won't work."

Re: Need help programming double solenoids!
The two possibilities I see are the setting it to off, as I have no idea what that does (we've always set it to a position and left it there until we set it the other way), or if the solenoid's not receiving the right voltage. Some solenoid's are meant to receive 12V, some 24V. If they're wired wrong, they don't work

Re: Need help programming double solenoids!
We're not using pneumatics this year, and I was not programming last year, so maybe this won't make sense with the 2015 setup. However, I remember that our lead programmer last year spoke of "strobing" the double solenoids when the buttons were pressed rather than "setting" them. I believe that this is because (physical) double solenoid valves only need to be supplied with current for a fraction of a second; when no voltage is applied to either side, they physically maintain their state through the position of the internal piston.
