Re: Compressor With Spike Problems

All,

It seems like yogi knows he doesn't have a pressure switch and can't use the compressor control loop at the moment. I think he's just trying to get the compressor to run to check out his relay wiring and the compressor. So he's just running the compressor as you would for any other Spike actuated motor. I presume he'll rectify the pressure switch and control loop issues one he gets a pressure switch.

yogi,

If you could upload your Begin.vi and Teleop.vi or post screenshots, that would really help. Other questions: What's your robot signal light doing while you're trying this? Do you have drive code or something that IS working and this compressor relay is the only thing that's not? Do you have 12V power wired to you sidecar? It doesn't really work without power.
