Thanks! I didn't think about feeding inputs to it.

Re: Led Tape Control

There is a VI to set a relay. It is much better than trying to use the Compressor VI to set the relay. The compressor VI (in LabVIEW) creates a new thread, constantly getting the pressure switch and writing the relay. Under the WPI Robotics Library palette, go to Actuators->Relay and use the Relay Open and Relay Set VI's.

Re: Led Tape Control

The Spike relay is not rated for rapid ON/OFF operation if you are intending to make flashy lights. If the LED device you are using requires a simple ON/OFF power connection, and it draws less that 20 amps, the Spike is a perfect fit.
