Piston extends but does not retract?
We have our solenoid connected to our cRio through slot 8 channels 1 and 2. We have our code (C++) set to make the connection in slot 8 channel 1 activate (extend the piston), then wait .5 seconds. After it waits, it is supposed to make slot 8 channel 2 activate (retract the piston). The piston extends but does not retract. The lights on the cRio next to slot 8 light up, but it is only for the first channel (extend). Any ideas as to why this is happening?
