A few quick questions that weren't covered by the how to manual...at least as far as I could see. Where exactly on the positive fuse block does the black wire from the compressor relay connect to ( a fuse or a breaker)? Where do we wire the power and ground for the robot controller? Thanks!

I believe the answers are in the "How to Manual". My students are playing with the pneumatics and have a full system operational with the control box.

The OCCRA Q & A about wiring problems is explained on page 44 of the manual but does not specify whether the black relay wire has to go to a fuse or a circuit-breaker; it really does not matter. We just use a 20 A fuse. The power for the RC should come from the positive and negative fuse blocks.

The Power and ground connections are specified and displayed in the manual and in the pictures. Just follow the example. All of the ground wires go to the common ground block.
