Re: Solenoid help
The solenoid valve isn't meant to be powered with 12VDC straight from the PDB; instead, as shown on the alternate power diagram on the FIRST website, the 24VDC is supposed to be supplied from the Crio solenoid output module.
This is achieved by also hooking up the PDB boost converter that hooks up to the main supply on the Crio to the solenoid module; this module then sends the 24VDC power to the solenoid as governed by your code.
