Re: Compressor With Spike Problems

See attachment Compressor.bmp for our code.

The compressor runs correctly now.

Good luck.
Thank you very much for posting this! We have been having intermittent compressor issues with the simplest code and we checked wiring, DSC, modules and breakouts, etc. We will be trying your replacement for the compressor control loop tonight before bagging.

[EDIT] Update after running the code posted by Chris: So far, so good! (Yay!) I want to see it run consistently for another programming session to be certain, but it looks like the WPI compressor control loop VI does not work.
