Actually, when i said FWD and REV pins I was specifically referring to the logic level (5VDC) outputs from the controller to eliminate the spike from the system at first. If you're getting the 5V signals, then you can work down the chain of command from there (5V signal -> spike -> solenoid -> piston -> mechanical action).
