Re: pneumatic system Wiring

Pneumatic tubing with "low" pressure air from the regulator goes into the "input" side of the solenoid. Tubing connects the output ports to the cylinder. (I don't believe it matters which output goes to which end of the cylinder, but don't quote me on that.)

Both of the solenoid "power" leads go to the solenoid breakout (which is wired for 12V). Cut one of the "2-Wire Jumper" cables from the KOP in half, and connect the leads to that. The +12 pin on the solenoid breakout is the further one from the circuit board.
