Re: Solenoid Wiring

No, standard 3-wire PWM's will not fit into the solenoid breakout, at least not with the blue cover connected.

Our team stripped off the third (white) wire on our PWM's, took off the male end and spliced it with the solenoid wires, and cut off the plastic edge of the female end where the white wire normally would be. You have to be careful when doing this, to not crush the female connector end. You also have to make sure you get as much of the extra plastic connector off as possible, or it won't fit easily into the breakout.

Alternative would be to buy some 2-wire connectors (I don't know where to find such a thing), or remove the blue cover connector (you lose the retention functionality that the cover provides, however).
