Re: solenoid with compressor vi

Anything interesting happening with the Robot Status Light (RSL) on the Digital Sidecar? It should be mostly on for a second or two, with a very brief blink off.
Any messages on the Driver Station Diagnostics tab?

There are status LEDs next to the Digital Sidecar Relays where you should be controlling your compressor from. These will tell you if it's a code problem or a hardware problem.

What do the LEDs next to your PWM connection to the Spike controlling the compressor show?
LED off - means the code has turned off the compressor
LED on - means the code wants the compressor on

Is the Spike status light orange or green/red while this is happening?
