Re: Program Pnuematics

Mark,

We tried the compressor programming and were not able to get it to work. In trying to debug this, I need to understand more and I have some basic question about the setup in this 2010 Framework.

From the screen shots, it looks like begin.vi has the initialization and operational functions for the compressor. Am I to understand that the compressor control (with feedback from the pressure switch and drive from the relay driver) is done completely within begin.vi? I would have thought that the solenoid control needs to be part of teleop.vi or some other recursive vi.

Also, unbundling the buttons within the joystickget block is possible, but when I edit the block and then save the changes, the periphery of the joystickget block within the teleop.vi does not have the added buttons. What else needs to be modified within the joystickget block to enable the buttons being accessible on the block periphery?

Thanks in advance.
Lance
