[OCCRA]: Setting Up a Double Action Solenoid

How do we set up a Double Action Solenoid with the Cortex system & spikes? We are trying to do it with one jumper (in digital 11) and the default code right now. The Solenoid will fire if we use the buttons on the physical solenoid but will not when we try and do it through the Cortex. We plug in the pwm from the spike to the cortex & it automatically turns red, without any buttons being pressed on the controllers. We have tried plugging the pwm into every slot on the Cortex, weve gone through multiple spikes and all of them do the same thing: instantly (the spike) turns red (sending a reverse signal to fire the piston) When we hook a motor to the spike the motor instantly turns on and spins in the reverse direction. Anybody have a clue what is happening?
