Hi all, I am using a CHI030A to control some pneumatic solenoids for a Halloween project. Solenoid 1 was wired to B.0, solenoid 2 to B.1. I was getting no response from B.0 (checked for voltage across darlington and +12VDC and nothing). I swtiched solenoid 1 to B.2 and all was running fine, however, the last line of my code tells B.2 to go low and it isn't. the rest of the code seems to be running fine. Could I have a bad module and/or a bad darlington?
here is the code.
Solenoids are 400 milliamps each and I have a 1N4007 diode across each of the darlington pins and +V.
here is the code.
Code:
'#18M2 Flying witch
symbol Up_Away = B.2
symbol Side2Side = B.1
