Re: Do my Solenoid vi's look alright?
I'm bothered by the tiny red coercion dot on the Solenoid Set.
That means it's not the proper type that's expected when it looks like it should be.

First though I'd check the Solenoid Module LEDs to see if the code is changing them. Look on the module and operate the button (DS Enabled and all) to see if the LEDs come on at all and change when you push the button.
Make sure Joystick 1 (where the button is) is in the first slot on the Driver Station Setup tab. Pushing the button will make it turn blue.
You should see the first two LEDs alternating being on.

If you do then your code is alright, and it's a wiring issue.
If those status LEDs don't come on then it's a code issue.
