Running / Turning off a Compressor

[robotic321]

Hi, we need help with programming a compressor and pressure switch into our teleop code. I am clueless on how to do this and our mentors atm are mechanical ones. Please assist us in this matter. all i need is the compressor to run until the pressure switch triggers. If possible, please post a snippet of a compressor in a teleop code please. Ty

This code goes in Begin.vi

You'll also want to Close the compressor in Finish.vi: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=8409&d=1264605002
