Re: Festo Connectors

The leads don't twist together.
You use code to turn one side off as it's opposite is turned on and vice versa.

The two wires (1-red & 1-black) from one side of the Festo go to a 2-pin connector and plug into the Solenoid Breakout, on say position 1. The Solenoid Breakout pins are marked as to (+) & (-), the black wire goes on the (-) pin.

The two wires (1-red & 1-black) from the opposite side of the Festo go to a 2-pin connector and plug into the Solenoid Breakout, on say position 2.

I'll try to rig up a photo later.
