Re: PWM input?

Have you considered controlling the pneumatic solenoids more directly from your RC receiver? Our team has used a small motor controller used in FTC robots wired with a few diodes to produce a small device that can control a solenoid valve or switch a SPIKE relay. You are still limited by the total number of channels on your controller, but it works and requires no CRIO or software to work.
