Solenoids acting weird
The solenoids attached to our pneumatic breakout are acting strange. The double acting solenoids are workign as a single stage solenoid.
For example: pin 1 and 2 are connected to a double acting solenoid. Pin 1 extends the piston and pin 2 retracts the piston. Pin one is triggered form the start and when you trigger pin two the piston will retract as long as the trigger is pressed, when the trigger is released the solenoid shoots the piston back into pin 1 position.
We tried changing the solenoid and pins on the pneumatic breakout but that did not resolve the issue. The code does not seem to be the issue as we are using the same code as the one from championship, also the module is showing the lights as in what pin should be high but it does not seem to work. if somebody knwos the problem and can help us it would be great.

The most important deisgn criteria is always performance in any of the parts / systems we design. But we do try to abide by the saying -- if it doesn't look good (right), it probably isn't good (right). - Adam Freeman [more]
