Re: Troubleshooting solenoid breakout
The DS solenoid indicators don't necessarily reflect the solenoids true condition. The RSL just repeats the LED on the Digital Sidecar, so if that's solid for a couple of seconds with a brief off, that means you're enabled and operating correctly.
A real easy baseline code test is to use the "Solenoid with Compressor Example." Set the project IP, run continuously, Enable the Driver station, and just click on the solenoid button on the front panel. It expects slot 8, but you just want to see the status light on the module working.
It'll give the NI guys a warm and fuzzy feeling when you talk to them about your problem.
