Re: Help! My 2003 Bot compressor won't shut off

since you're talking about last year's bot, I am assuming you are using last year's control system, and last years programming language (PBASIC). if this is the case, then add these lines to your code, just before the serout command:

select rc_sw2
case 1
relay3_fwd = 1
relay3_rev = 0
case 0
relay3_fwd = 0
relay3_rev = 1
endselect


this is assuming that the pressure switch is normally closed (when 120 psi has NOT been reached). If the compressor doesnt turn on at all, swap the lines "case 1" and "case 0". hope this helps!
