    What would the proper Team Delta control board be to switch on two different solenoids? (With the stick to the left being one trigger, and the same stick to the right being another?)

    Is it the RCE200 ? or is this a single application switch?

    Thank you for your help.

    RCE200 for each direction. I am not sure of they make a double version for it to make it one board to do that. now if you want all your guns to fire as one unit only one RCE200 board is needed. But for each direction you push the stick to fire a different gun you need another board.

    RCE220 will do the job for less money than two of the smaller versions. The only difference is that this unit has a 12 amp capacity. It works the same in every other respect and will control two different solenoids with a left right or an up down

    So If I have 4 separate solenoid/ guns to fire, I could get away with (2) RCE220's Using a single two channel Stick. ~ Or upgrade the single stick (two channel) to four single momentary switches?

    Yes. 4 single switches would run $28 each for the 9am version. The dual switch would cost $36 each so you would be saving $40 but losing some space as they are larger for sure.

    In fact if I could do it over again, I would get three of the RCE220 for the baden, (2) for the firing circuits for (4) solenoids, and one for the single motor throttle. I would then get a RCE210 for my pump switch as it supports 24 amps. It would take room but would be bullet proof. The variation would be to get an ESC for the throttle that could sit outside the box.
