Re: Solenoid LEDs not on / VEX Base Leak

Some more pictures. Sorry some of them are crappy quality. Let me know if there are close-ups of anything specific you'd like.

We've been re-doing some of the tubing because it got frustrating trying to debug things would get pulled out.

So we had a leak right out from the compressor, and then a leak near the release valve and the high pressure gauge. The air tanks all seem to be good even though the one T joint seems a little iffy.


We were able to get both the High Pressure side working, although I'd like to run a test to see how the pressure may bleed, so we'll do that.

We also just setup a low pressure side with the outlet of the regulator just sent to a release valve, and that also seemed to build pressure, although it was going to about 40 PSI, and would keep going while it was still at 40.


So with the solenoid base, the orange connectors on the base being close to each other means that it is fit better than when the orange connectors are farther apart?
