We're trying to get our pneumatics to work, but there seems to be an issue. The program is set so that ports 1 and 2 on the solenoid breakout flip a double acting festo valve connected to those solenoids. When running the robot, we see the lights on the solenoid switch back and forth when pushing the buttons, indicating that the button does indeed activate the solenoid ports as expected. The lights on the valve also move back and forth, indicating that it receives the signal. We can manually move the cylinder attached to the valve using the buttons on the valve, but we cannot get it to move electronically.

We noticed that the valves call for 24 volts of power, but the power going to the solenoid breakout is only 12 volts. Could this be the problem? How can we fix it? And whether this is the problem or not, what else could be causing the issue?
