I am little confuse who to connect to control solenoids, the 3 double 12 V to control solenoids, we use C++ Crio II , NI 9472 module, I connect 12 V solenoids by The spike each which should be connected to a PWM output of the Digital Sidecar and powered from the Power Distribution Board. So I need 6 Spikes. Is it right. May be there is anther way??
I read his

Solenoids can be powered via a Spike, or the breakout. Only 24volt solenoids have to be powered via the breakout as you cannot supply 24 volts to a Spike.

The Solenoid Breakout Board takes the Digital Outputs of the NI 9472 module and converts them into a form more readily usable by FRC teams. The Solenoid breakout board accepts 12V or 24V input power and provides a signal and ground output for each of the 8 output channels. The Solenoid Breakout Board should be plugged into the NI 9472 module and plugged into the Power Distribution Board.
and isn't this fun? :) CD is great :D - rick.oliver [more]
