pressureswitch problem
hello,
we are facing trouble with the pressureswitch it simply won't work the Compressor just keeps on going forever!!!!!:ahh: :confused: we have connected the Compressor to a functional spike and connected the spike with pwm to the "relay" side car also we connected the pressureswitch to the "digital I/O " part of the sidecar!! (( the pwm cord are working the black cord in place and the red cord not connected with the signal cord in place)) our pneumatics is fully functional we tested it before connecting it with our robot!! we are using wind river c++ and this is our code for starting the compressor Code:
#include "WPILib.h"However, every time we try to start the robot the compressor doesn't stop and the pressure switch regulator stops at 90 psi?? We are really confused ! |
Re: pressureswitch problem
You more than likely have a leak in your system. That's why you never get over 90psi.

Re: pressureswitch problem
It certainly sounds like the pressure sensor is doing it's job correctly.
Check your regulator. It could be:

Re: pressureswitch problem
We did try to wipe the tubes with soapy water and we couldn't find any leak , and we also changed the regulator and still we are having the same problem!! should we change the entire Pneumatic system ???

Re: pressureswitch problem
Does the robot hiss when the pneumatics are running? If so, follow the sound to where the leak is.

Re: pressureswitch problem
Aya,
Check the output ports of your solenoid valves and the output of the vent valve with the soapy water. Some times the valves leak. If you do not have the working pressure set, some valves will not "seat". Some of them require at least 30 psi to work right. If you are still having a hard time, try isolating runs and see if the pump works correctly. This is easily accomplished by bending tubing in half to close it off. |

Adjust it while the pressure is flowing. |
