Re: Spike Relay Double Solenoid

Here is the link to the IFI documentation for the spike. See the two solenoid wiring example to check your wiring.

http://content.vexrobotics.com/docs/...uide-sep05.pdf

Set relay forward momentarily to switch to one position.

Set relay reverse momentarily to switch to other position.

Valve will maintain position without power.

Other points:
Dual solenoid valves must have air pressure applied to move the spool in the valve

This years KOP the dual solenoid valve is 24V, check documentation about this. Spike is designed for 12v so you will have to us the NI solenoid driver card with special 24v wiring to use this years valve.
