Re: Compressor running in disabled mode
Team 3518 saw this occur once. It happened after a power cycle of the hostbot which, I believe, may have been too short to allow all internal components to reset.

I have instructed the students on my team to "count to ten" when cycling power on the hostbot. We have not seen the issue recur since adopting this procedure.

Regards,

Mike

BTW, the pressure limit switch did not stop the pump from over pressurizing the system when this was observed.
