Re: Help Solenoid Programming

i have been able to get the solenoid only to extend out by programming it in a case structure and controlled by a button on the joystick. although we are using the solenoid only to activate a pneumatic in the end to lock a system in place while lifting ourselves, it would be nice to figure out a way to program it to retract by pushing a button so we do not have to do it manually after the competition is over or just in case it is accidentally released we can retract it so we can still lift ourselves at the end.
