Re: Any diagrams that explain pneumatics?

The new Festo valves need 24v. To get this, you must wire your Solenoid breakout board to the cRio 24v supply instead of the normal 12v supply. If you need 12v solenoids also, you can have a solenoid module on slot 7 and slot 8, one on 12v and 24v. To wire the solenoid module to the new solenoids, you use the two-pin cables (like PWM cables except with two wires) between the pins on the solenoid and the pins o the solenoid module.
