pneumatic problem

hey I’ve been having some problem with using the vex pneumatic kit. I try using the robot c template code for the pneumatic control code and we pumped air into the air tank but it not really working out. Just wondering if anybody can give me some tip to get the pneumatic system working.

Can you send a picture of your setup?

Are all of the valves open?

In RobotC make sure the solenoid is connected to a digital out.
