Digital Sidecar relay ports: correct voltage?

Thanks Mark. Could you post a link to this document? The doc I have does not have this info.

Aha. That sounds more likely. I vaguely recall hearing something about this. We will look into it when we get the robot back.

We couldn't get it fixed in time, so we used the 24V solenoid break-out. All we needed was about 70ma. I asked a couple of students to find the specs for the output current capability of the 24V solenoid breakout, and they spent about and hour and a half looking but couldn't find it. You don't happen to have a link to a doc for that by any chance do you?
