Run the default solenoid example, and use test mode in your existing code to see if the solenoids work there.
1) Run the solenoid example found from the Getting Started window (the one that comes up when you first start LabVIEW). - Support (on the left side of the Getting Started window)
- Find FRC Examples...
- Pneumatics
- Solenoid with Compressor
Run the example on your cRIO by: - Right-click on "RT CompactRIO Target (10.0.0.2)" and choose Properties
- Change the IP address to your team number (10.8.84.2)
- OK
- Connect to the cRIO and power it up
- Open the Solenoid With Compressor.vi
- Run the example in Debug by pressing the Run button in the upper left of the window
Look at the module LEDs to see if they light up in response to the example code.
2) Use Test mode to check your code. - In the Driver Station Operation tab, select Test
- On the default Dashboard select the Test tab
- See if your solenoids appear in the list on the Dashboard. If they are setup correctly in your code, then they will appear.
- Highlight one of the solenoids and test buttons should appear at the bottom of the Dashboard window.
- Test with the buttons to see if the module LEDs light up.

THANK YOU! Considering the fact that I won't be at robotics until Monday, I won't be able to test this now, but I believe that this may (should) be able to show us our problem. Also considering the fact that it was your team's programming guide that we have been using
, and the fact that you have been answering all of my threads, another large THANK YOU is in order!
