Help Getting my Compressor to Work
 

Ok, so I have learned how to program a compressor, but cannot for the life of me get it to work at all.

I have it set up in the digital sidecar Relay slot 1, and the pressure valve sensor in DIO 4, and I have ensured that there are no conflicts with that. I have in Begin.vi the declaration of the compressor and the start, as well as a refnum for the compressor.

When I turn the code on, it doesn't seem to be sending any information to the Spike i have the compressor hooked up to. If anyone can point me in the general direction, that would be fantastic, thank you.

EDIT: Also, the relay lights on our digital sidecar are not lit... Is this a problem?

When you say relay lights you are talking about the BAT, 5V, and 6V lights correct? If so we ran into that problem, and it did cause some problems. Simple fix though because the wire was not the correct size; a member of the team accidentally put a smaller wire on the ground connection so it was not working. Maybe that will help not really sure though.

No, I mean the actual relay indicator lights were not flashing when output was used. I replaced the board and it's all ok now, working fine.

Thank you for the help, however :)
