Re: Programming the Air Compressor and Pressure Switch

Look at the status lights on the Digital Sidecar for the Relay.
The lights are in the trough in front of the Relay pins.
You should see a green LED if the software is trying to start the compressor.

Is the robot enabled from the Driver Station?
Is the Spike status light glowing orange?

There is a test program you can use to make sure it's not a code issue.
From the Getting Started window -> Support -> Find FRC examples...
Look under the pneumatics folder and pick an example with a compressor.
Change the example's cRIO IP to match your cRIO, i.e., right-click on cRIO Target and choose Properties to change the IP.

Just use the Run button to test it on your cRIO.
