Solenoid Breakout Output Voltage Issue
Hi all.
I am having troubles with the output voltage of the pins from the solenoid breakout module on our robot. It is hooked up to 12 v, the power LED is green and we have a 24 v solenoid hooked up to output slot 8. However, when the code (in Java) is run the voltage output starts at 0 and when activated it outputs a maximum of 5 v. I have double-checked all of the wiring, and it seems to be ok.
Being completely new here, is this normal? Have I made any mistakes? Is there a way to change the output voltage from the code? Or could it be that the solenoid breakout is broken?
Thanks,
Eric
