Re: how to hook up the eletrical wiring
I'm assuming you mean the compressor is connected to the Spike, which happens a black box. The breakers can also be described as "black boxes", though, so this is something to confirm.

The regulator doesn't need to be connected to any electronics. The pressure switch, however, should be connected to one of your digital inputs. When the switch inside opens, it means the system has reached maximum pressure.

The Festo should be connected to the pneumatics bumper. Unlike past years, it's not necessary to drive solenoids from Spikes; they can be hooked directly up to the bumper.
