Re: Solenoids acting weird

I checked the reading on the solenoid and it displayed 11v, strange as we are using 24v solenoids. After troubleshooting it was figured that the Solenoid breakout was only receiving 11v when it was still connected to the regulated 24v port on the Power Distribution. The cable was changed a few times as that was the only component in doubt of cutting the voltage. We tried to check if the cRio was a problem so the cRio was then swapped with our practice cRio and it turned out to work after that. The problem is not found yet for the loss of voltage but the problem is temporarily fixed for the time being.
