Multiplex Festo Valves
It appears that only four FESTO valves (8 solinoids) can be driven by the 24V breakout board AND only one breakout board can be used in the robot. Does anyone know if it's legal to to multiplex the 24V breakout board lines via additional relays driven via the digitial side car relay drivers? In other words, one 24V line from the breakout board would be used control both of the solinoids on the Festo Valve.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
