Re: Help Solenoid Programming

As of right now we have have a single solenoid attached to our breakout with the cord connected to the intake in port one and the cord connected to the outake in port two. We are trying to use this setup as a pneumatic kicker that pushes the arm out of the cylinder and pulls the arm in to reset. I feel my programming is the flaw. I'll have pictures up later but for right now a description of what i have in labview. In begin.vi I have two solenoids both set to "solenoid 1" and then set to slot 8 and 7 because it doesnt allow slot 1 and 2. In finish.vi I have the "kick solenoid" and "return solenoid" closing. Then in teleop to achieve the push button mechanism I'm calling the joystick and then calling button 4. Then I have a true false system setup so that when button 4 is true it kicks and when button 4 is false it returns, or atleast I think i have it that way.... I would love it if someone could put up labview diagrams of a working solenoid button press system to kick and return. Thnaks in advance!
