Re: Compressor Not Starting
We had this same problem and spent a good chunk of time troubleshooting.

We kept everything the same except switched out the Vex Pro Spike Relay for an older Innovation FIRST Spike Relay. It has worked like a charm since then.

We had the same issue last year (took a student with a better memory than me to remember that) and we have no idea why...

Everything about the system stays the same, wiring, data, programming, everything, except the Spike.

Anyway, don't know if that's exactly the problem but thought I'd share.

BTW, we program in java and just do
"Compressor comp = new Compressor(pressureSwitch, Spike Relay)"
