Re: Questions about operation of pneumatic valves

Most solenoid valves, including the VexPro ones you are using, have a small button to manually switch the state. Is it possible that in the banging around some part pushed that button?

Re: Questions about operation of pneumatic valves

Thanks for all the replies! This is an issue that has just recently appeared, so it could very well be a wiring issue, but now that we know it's safe to keep the solenoids powered, we'll try that as a first approach. And knowing that mechanical shock can indeed be an issue, we will try the shock mounting remedy as well.
