Re: Pneumatics board for 2015, is it in the KOP?

I believe that the Pneumatics module can be set for either 24 volt or 12 volt but I am not completely sure.

If you have pneumatics they will NOT be able to be run exclusively through the RoboRio without the pneumatics board as far as a I know. The RoboRio CAN handle 4 spike relays for pneumatics BUT you will need the pneumatics board to run the pressure switch, and to control the compressor.

I would find it highly unlikely that this would not be included in the KOP.

For a comparison of the two systems go to:
