Solenoid Breakout Wiring

Hi Chief Delphi -

This year my team and I would like to use the Solenoid Breakout (am-0868) attached to NI Module 9472 to trigger a double solenoid (extend and compress a piston shaft) instead of using multiple Spike relays. However, I could not find a clear diagram anywhere that specifically details how a pneumatic solenoid is to be connected to the breakout.

I have seen diagrams like this one here: http://team358.org/files/pneumatic/D...iring.jpgBelow, however, I cannot tell which color wire goes where and on which pin on the breakout.

I have attached a diagram of how the solenoid should be wired up to the breakout (from my understanding).

Can someone else confirm or correct me?

Thank you in advance for your help! My team and I greatly appreciate it!
