The solenoid breakout had better be on the digital output module, or it won't do anything.

EDIT: We hooked the solenoid breakout to the 9472 module in slot eight. We connected the two cables to either side of the solenoid and used the code above...but nothing worked.

You're providing power to the solenoid breakout, right? The voltage needs to match what the solenoid expects, either 12 or 24 volts, following the power diagram on the FIRST web site.
When you say "nothing worked", does that include no green lights on the output module?
I'm impressed and incredibly amused that you found so many of Dave's evildoings, though granted, they aren't that hard to search out. - DCA Fan [more]
