basic pneumatic help needed

can someone please tell me how to do some basic things with the pneumatic thing? like turning the compressor on/off:)
also, wgere do i wire all the cables?
I tried searching, but all of the posts i found assume that the reader already knows the basis and needs to know something more compliciated.

The "programming" consists of a single line of code. In the Buttons to Relays section of the default code, well-camouflaged among all the other copying of input switches to output relays, lies this small nugget:

Code:

relay8_fwd = !rc_dig_in18; /* Power pump only if pressure switch is off. */

With this line in Default_Routine(), the pressure switch wired between ground and digital input 18, and the compressor wired between ground and the FWD output of a Spike connected to the relay 8 output, you're golden.
