Re: RoboRio

As Dale said, you'll probably be controlling your solenoids through the Pneumatics Control Module (PCM). It has specific ports to plug in the compressor and pressure switch, ports for solenoids, and a jumper to let you switch from 12 to 24 volts. It sits on the CAN bus, which lets you add several PCM's if you have enough solenoids to need to (in otherwords, you're no longer limited to the 16 you can currently have with 2 pneumatic modules in the cRio).

New features include native support for CAN on the RoboRio (no more serial to CAN converters), USB host and USB device support, native ports for most outputs (no need for a digital sidecar or breakout boards), and an expansion port to give you as many ports as you'll probably want.
