You will need a solenoid module and solenoid breakout for your cRIO.
Power from the unused terminals on the 24v connector on the Power Distribution Panel get wired to the solenoid breakout to power the 24v Festo solenoid (the white connector in the picture below).



When assembling the fittings make sure to tighten them with a metric allen wrench: http://www.team358.org/files/pneumat...4vFittings.jpg
Thanks a lot! That's really helpful! Good luck this year.
