Re: Team 95 progress so far

No, we've got a button on the driver station that is programmed to fire the solenoids. We've got spikes controlled by the relay outputs on the digital sidecar controlling the solenoids. I *think* you can actuate the solenoids directly from the sidecar, but I'm not sure, we used the spikes because I was the last one to do pneumatics on the team (back in 2002 when I was still a student) and that's what I know works.

In any event, email me at jamesch13(at)gmail.com, give me some details, and I'll get you in touch with our programmer. It only takes about 5 lines of code, depending on what language you're using.
