Re: Proper way to connect a solenoid
One thing that you can do to get the 24 V that you need is share the power with the cRio. This is something that teams have done in the past I believe. The port off the PD board that you wire to power the cRio, there are 4 wire holes there, you can draw and extra wire from it to power the solenoid breakout panel.
There are probably some concerns with this. I would not recommend using this method and mixing 12V and 24V solenoids. Some people would not use this method at all.
