Re: Proper way to connect a solenoid

A spike should work for a typical valve.

Check to make sure that you can actuate the solenoid in the first place (with a battery).

Check the specs for your valve. Does it use 12V, or 24V (unlikely)?

Did you code it correctly? If you are not sure, look at the colors on the spike. It should change between red and green for reverse and forward. Yellow means that it isn't doing anything

this has been on our team's bucket list for some time too, but we never get around to it.
