    Thanks egoexpress,

    I tried to look at the layout of the circuit and trace the polarity of the 16 outputs on the USB 1.3.
    I would speculate that con2 controls one cylinder and con3 controls the other. It is interesting how the polarity is flip-flopped half way thru con2 & con3.

    I would like to do a 4 cylinder setup, and I was hoping to get some suggestions on Stroke and Bore size for the double acting cylinders.

    For those wondering, the valves can be assigned in the “valve matrix” once the valves are connected to the USB 1.3. So really there is no wrong way to hook them up.
    Although, I would like to match the original wiring of the rock’n’ride if anyone knows it?

    Thanks everyone!
