Swapping Festo solenoids out for Mead and we can't get them to work...
Because of the impact on the robot, the wiring on our Festo solenoids kept coming loose during practice. We ordered some of the Mead ones from Automation Direct instead (AVS-5121-24V.) They seem much sturdier, but the kids ran into some trouble getting them to work. They are 24V and we have the PCM to 24, same as with the Festo. We didn't change anything else. They don't switch at all, though they are lit.

If anyone could help us troubleshoot, I would appreciate it! We have tried everything we can think of.
