Re: Help with WindRiver pneumatics code
Are you running 12V or 24V solenoids? If 12V, you need to power the solenoid breakout from a 20A circuit from the power distribution board. If 24V, you need to power the solenoid breakout from the 24V header on the power distribution board (the same header the cRIO is powered from).

If you are powered properly: each solenoid has a manual button. Press the button with a small screwdriver or other pointed object. If the solenoid works, it is getting air and electrical power -- the problem is in your code. If the solenoid does not work, or no lights light up, you probably have a wiring problem. Have you done a continuity check of your wiring? Try reversing the two-wire connector on the solenoid breakout.

Good luck.
