Re: How do you run the pneumatics through the CRio w/o using the Jaguars and the Spik

By using the Solenoid Bumper in slot 8.

Connect the red & black wire from the solenoid directly to the 2-pin Solenoid Bumper. You have 8 available.

Single Solenoids will take up one set of Solenoid Bumper output pins, while Double Solenoids will require two sets of Solenoid Bumper output pins.

In programming use the Solenoid functions to control it.

Like Mark said, you will be able to run the solenoids through the breakout. However, there's nearly no way to get around the spike that you need to run the compressor.

(Sorry if the solenoid answer was all you needed, but your question wasn't very specific)

Remember that the compressor is 25 amps start current (10-12 amps run) while a solenoid is in the 20 ma range. Spike designed for 20 amps continuous, bumper is not.
