Re: Can't get pneumatics solenoids to work

Hi, welcome to chiefdelphi!
A few questions/suggestions that might help ...
- You said that you could hear the solenoids clicking, could you see the little red lights on top toggling on and off?
- Just in case it is code, try firing the solenoids manually by pressing in the little blue buttons on top using a pen or something similar.
- Could you post a picture of the setup so we can see if some of the tubing is not going where it should be or something along those lines?
- Probably a dumb question but is any air at all going to the cylinder? Is it just locked in one position when the system is charged or does it move freely?

Jesse
