Re: Using other solenoids with the solenoid breakout board
See R52, in the Table 4-4 Legal Power Regulating Device Use.
Electric solenoids can be powered by either a Spike or the solenoid breakout.

Just be careful of overloading the solenoid breakout
Quote:
R70
Outputs from each Solenoid Breakout shall not cumulatively exceed 16W for the cRIO-FRC (8-slot) and 21W for the
cRIO-FRC II (4-slot).
