Re: Custom Solenoid Breakout

Justin,
I didn't think that the Andymark was different, just a second source of the product. I would try contacting either Kate Pilotte or Collin Fultz with the design docs. My guess is that if allowed, there would be an obvious caveat that use of the product may violate NI warranties on the solenoid module. It never hurts to ask.
I don't mind the PWM cables since we make our own. The pins are getting smaller for my hands. I have never been happy with RJ45 or RJ11 except for phone use and ethernet. Some audio products are now using them for interconnect and to me that is just not a professional looking installation. Personal preference is all.
