Edit: According to your code, it should be in Relay output 4. Also note: the socket in Spikes and Victors can be a little funny - make sure the connector is properly and snuggly seated all the way down into the socket.
The solid orange light on the spike means it's being commanded to do nothing, which is certainly the case if there is no proper signal coming in. |
I looked again at that picture. Definitely a wiring issue.
1. Your double solenoid valve is wired incorrectly. Each end of the valve is one solenoid, each of which has a red wire (+, positive) and a black wire (-, negative). Make sure these wires are connected to the spike exactly as shown in
this diagram. Right now you are doing something totally different with those wires, which wouldn't work even if the Spike were working properly (it's not, due to 2 below). You should have a red wire on each of the M+ and M- terminals on the spike, and then both black wires should connect to the GND terminal on the Spike.
2. As I posted above, ensure all PWM cables (for lack of a better name - the grouped black, red, and white wires) are inserted in the right direction. In general: B means black; (-) means GND which is always black (or maybe brown or blue ... ) + means hot which is always red, and SIG is signal which is usually white.
