Re: Programming Compressor

CooneyTech,
So I assume your using a PCM to closed-loop the compressor. Under typical conditions the PCM will drive the compressor if the pressure switch indicates that pressure is not-full. However if during the match you would prefer to force off this feature (for example for the sake of power management) you can force OFF the compressor by using the WPI_CompressorStop.vi.

When you start the compressor again using WPI_CompressorStart.vi, it will re-enable the closed loop feature so that when the pressure switch reads not-full, compressor will drive to fill pressure.

The VIs are under Actuators => Compressor in the right click menu bar.

Does that answer your question?
