Without swapping out the whole DSC, you should try moving to another channel, or just cleaning out the digital IO rail.

The reason the compressor is running is because the digital IO pressure switch is being shorted to ground.

Also this is dependant upon where you start your compressor code from. If you start the compressor call in robot init, it has the potential to run during disabled.

If you start the code somewhere else, it won't run in disabled, unless you ran through that portion of the code first.

We typically only start our compressor in telopInit (to avoid it running during auto and just being an extra electrical load we don't want. (We run the robot in queue to pre-charge our air system)).

Hope this helps,
