Re: Using more than 8 24v solenoids

Are you using two position (toggle) solenoids or one position (hold-on) solenoids? You can cut the number of channels you're using in half by using the latter of the two (depending on the application of course).

The unwritten rule of thumb on our team has generally been "If you need more than 8 solenoids, you probably have too many pneumatics on the robot".
