Re: Button Wiring for T-shirt Launcher

You need another 12V source, since the outputs on the sidecar are only 5V. Unfortunately, the RobotOpen Control Shield doesn't support relay outputs to run Spikes off of. Your best bet would be to get 12V straight from the PDB and run it through a switch (normally open) to the Solenoid.
