Re: Air Compressor not turning off.

We had this same problem today. We discovered that the newest version of the firmware causes this problem. We reflashed back to the previous version and the pressure shutoff switch now works properly again.

To troubleshoot, completely disconnect the pressure switch from the pneumatics module. This should cause the compressor to shut off. (Fail safe) If it keeps running, it's not the switch, it's the firmware.
