Rigging The System...

Okay. General question. We have the pneumatics solved, to a degree, but here's what I need help with. Our team needs help rigging the entire system up to the rc, and getting it set. How exactly would we go about rigging it?

I'll explain what I think is right.
PWM cable from solenoid relay to PWM input slot 3
PWM cable from compressor relay to (Dunno where this should go, due to the compressor shutoff factor, which by the way, I don't know how that's done.)

Am I anywhere close to being right? How would we go about accomplishing setting up a pneumatics system.

BTW, if programming enters the discussion, We're rigging it where the claw operates off of a third joystick (via the trigger), however, we are so far unsuccessful.

EDIT: We have everything assembled, from the compressor down to the cylinders, but we don't know how to hook them to the rc and make them work. I know it sounds more like programming, but we're still trying to figure out all of the fine parts of the pneumatics system.
