We've been dealing with this problem for some time now. The compressor won't enabled when the robot is turned on even when the compressor code has been deployed.

In addition, we had an experienced programmer and mentor inspect our program and wiring but, they said there were no problems. I'm not sure if the program or wiring has a problem. If the program is wrong or there's a problem with the wiring please correct and guide us! Everything is working except the compressors being enable when the robot is turned on. Please help us and Thanks! P.S compressor will only charge when the battery is manually connected which, we obviously do not want.
