No activity on solenoid breakout

[Mark McLeod]

The LED lights on the Solenoid Module 9472 should work even without the breakout board attached, so don't worry yet about the other wiring just get the LEDs blinking first.

Software:
The best test of of the code is to run just the built-in LabVIEW solenoid example accessible from the lower-right corner of the Getting Started screen.


Hardware:
Check the pins in the bottom of the cRIO where the Solenoid Module plugs in.
If any are bent or if there is metal dust or other detritus, clean it out.

The lights intermittently cutting out can be caused by a cRIO reboot, so when it happens watch the cRIO power light and the status light (will turn yellow during reboot). Check to see the module is properly seated in the cRIO chassis, and consider moving it to the alternate slot (7 or 8) to see if the problem follows.
