Re: Buttons on Joystick
We are using a double solenoid to control our kicker.

And, I tried to leave the compressor in just the open and finish but it didn't seem to do anything. Once I placed it into Periodic Tasks, the compressor started...compressing. Also, another school reccomended it so I hope it isn't that that is messing with the solenoids.

Hm, I changed it so that the solenoids turn off when another is turned on but it didn't seem to make a difference...

Could it be a solenoid wiring issue? I've run the Solenoid with Compressor example from LabView - the compressor works. When I click the Solenoid button on the Front Panel, a LED on the CRIO module in slot 8 lights up. However, nothing actually...happens to the solenoids.
