Arduino newbie, looking for some assistance on just setting things up

So we're using an arduino board at work to help evaluate some sensors and other items for our OEM product...shhhh no one tell my boss!

Received an arduino from someone else with a pinch valve hooked up to it. I'm looking to add another. I know as far as script, i'd put in val 1 0/1, to open/close the pinch valve. I'd like to not take this one out, but where its placed into the board, has a few other holes not being used next to it. If i unscrew 2, put the wires in for my new pinch valve, what do i do next??

Thanks,

Never heard of a pinch valve.
Do you have a datasheet ?

Those appear to be 12volt or 24 volt solenoid values, so no way they wire directly to an arduino board. So to do what you wish you need a schematic drawing of what you have presently and a copy of the sketch code used. Little help available if you can't supply either.

Need a photo of the label on the valve.

Green Wires are on the new ones, orange/white and purple/white are on the older ones, please let me know if more pics are needed

This is what I asked for. I don't know why you posted the other photos. We don't need anything else. All we need is a photo of the label on the valve. Just the label and possibly the terminals on the valve but that's all.

We know how to hook up solenoids to whatever, we just need the exact number and specs off the label on the solenoid.
