Re: Intermittent pneumatic system

You can tell if a signal is being sent to the relay output on the digital side car if there is a green light next to the the relay output. With the robot enabled check to see of the light next to the PWM cable on the digital side car leading to the spike corresponding to the compressor is green. If it is it means that the light on the spike should turn green (and power should be run to the compressor). If not, it means the problem is with the pressure switch or digital sidecar. Make sure there is power to the digital sidecar by making sure all three lights labeled "5V", "6V", and BAT are green. If all three aren't lit, check to see if the PDB setup for the digital sidecar is correct (power, ground, new breaker). If all else fails, try a new pressure switch. If none of these work, my money is on a software issue
