Re: solinoid problem

Often, a solenoid is simply left "on" in the last commanded position. Unless you have a reason to release the cylinder, there is no harm in leaving the solenoid powered on.

(You did mention a 3-position setup; that could be a valid case for switching the solenoid completely off)
