We have set our values in teleop based on your team's Double Solenoid example.

Jean-Ann first since this is her thread.
So two problems then?

1) The solenoid valve isn't reacting to the commands being sent to it?

Since Test works it's probably the wiring somewhere between the Solenoid Breakout and the solenoid valve.

• Is the power light on the Solenoid Breakout bright green?
• Is the power wired directly to the Solenoid Breakout 12v or 24v?
• Is the solenoid valve coil(s) labeled 12v or 24v and do they match the voltage you wired to the Solenoid Breakout?
• Are the red Solenoid wires connected to the outer pin (and ground connected to the inner pin on the Breakout port?

2) The code isn't lighting the Solenoid Module status lights when it should. (The Test means your Open is fine.)

• Copy the Solenoid name box used for the Open in Begin.vi and paste it into Teleop to replace the one you have there now.
• It may just be a leading space in the Teleop name that makes the name different than that used in Begin to create it.
