Re: Solenoid problems
  1. Are the solenoid coils marked as 12v or 24v?
  2. What voltage do you have wired into the Solenoid Breakout - 12v or 24v?
  3. Is the power status light on the Solenoid Breakout bright green?
  4. Does the Solenoid Breakout have 2-pin ports or 3-pin ports?
  5. Are the red wires connected from the solenoid to the outside pin on the Solenoid Breakout, and the black wire connected to the inside pin of the connection?
