Re: Help with Solenoid Code In Java?

we've done some more troubleshooting but still are not getting the right results. here's what we've figured out.

we called festo and found out that we had our solenoid configured wrong. we had the connections for the air tubes in the wrong places. anyhow, now we know that the solenoids are right because we can manually apply voltage to them and have them switch correctly.

we also have our pneumatics fully hooked up mechanically now and we know it holds pressure.

so then we tried the code again. when the robot is turned on, one of the lights on the solenoid turns on. this is before we ever enable the driver station. after enabling and waiting for it to get up to pressure, we try to switch it but no go.

did some more investigating on the solenoid breakout. there is no voltage coming out of any of the slots / pin pairs (1 through 8) except for the one that gives us lights. this should be normal right? as in only voltage should go to one side of the double solenoid at a time.

so it must be our code right? but once we get this double solenoid working, we actually want to add in another one. is there a way to code so that the solenoid breakout gives power to 2 slots / pin pairs at a time?

befuddled.
