Go to Post Innovating for the sake of innovating, reinventing the wheel is probably the second biggest pitfall you can fall into when designing an FRC robot, if the wheel is already a very optimized, good solution. - Chris is me [more]

Re: pneumatics

I followed it OK.

How it works: you take the ground wires (black) of the solenoid and run them back to the distribution board's power return. Then you take the other wires of the solenoid and run them to the Spike, attaching one to each of the two output connections on the Spike. Not sure how you'd program it, though--Alan would know that.

Or, the simpler option, use the Solenoid Breakout and avoid the Spike altogether.
