Re: Piston extends but does not retract?

If you're just trying to get the Solenoid Module LEDs to light, then it's a code problem, not a wiring problem. Those are independent of the wiring that occurs afterwards in the Solenoid bumper and the solenoid itself. You can pull off the Solenoid Breakout and that will not affect the code's ability to turn the LEDs on and off.

Usually, I wouldn't program to have both sides of a solenoid off at the same time, but that doesn't concern what you're seeing in the LEDs.
