Re: Solenoid Breakout Board Problems?.?.?
The solenoid breakout board is nothing but a convenient way to bring out the signals from the solenoid card. It allows you to use 2-pin headers and cables similar to the PWM cables. You should have gotten several with your KOP. The only big difference is that you need to bring +12VDC (from the PDB) or +24VDC (from the PDB cRIO connector) (depending on which solenoids you bought) to the breakout board to run the solenoids and you should have power somewhere in your custom setup anyways.
It is not a big setback and should not affect programming at all. Don't be rough on the inspectors (never a wise idea for many reasons), they are just try to make sure the wiring is safe. Next year be sure to follow the wiring diagrams that FIRST gives us.
