Pneumatics simply not working
Hi,
We set up our pneumatics system today and simply can't get it to work.
We have a spike relay with two wires going to the PDB, and then 2 wires going to the compressor.
The compressor hooks up to the standard brass fitting configuration as defined in the FRC Pneumatics manual, and then some tubing goes to a T that enters an air tank and continues onward. The one that continues onward goes through a few things and eventually reaches our piston.
But that's beyond the point right now; our compressor is refusing to turn on.
We have a PWM cable going from the Spike to Relay port 1 on the Digital Sidecar; when power is on, the spike relay lights up.
We have a PWM going from the pressure switch on the pneumatic system to the Digital I/O slot 1.
Our programming language is Java, but any combination of code seems to not help.
Any ideas?
