Pneumatic Compressor won't turn on

[maddie.jensen]

We have all of our wiring set up the way it should be but our compressor still won't turn on.

With the new control system, the code loaded on the robot must create a solenoid in order for the compressor to turn on. (Basically, the compressor is smart enough to know that if it will not be used, it does not need to turn on.)

bingo!
The Pneumatics Control Module from Cross the Road Electronics allows for integrated closed loop control of a compressor. Creating any instance of a Solenoid or Double Solenoid object will enable the Compressor control on the corresponding PCMhttp://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/4485/m/13810/l/241865-operating-a-compressor-for-pneumatics
