4> are you giving the valve more than 20 PSI (I believe the shuttle of the Festo will not move with less than ~20PSI)

Yes, we have all of these, and I will double check on the voltage. I know from working on it the past few days that the valve has worked, we have it into the proper pressure port (1), and we have had the valve at 30 PSI regularly (5 above the 25 minimum), but we put it up to 40 just to be sure this wasn't our problem.

I suspect our problem may be electrical thought, because we recently rearranged wires to look "better", and thought we put them back into their correct voltages, but will check.
