Re: Compressor won't start

Originally, I declared the compressor on digital one and relay one:

Compressor *compressor;

then:

compressor = new Compressor(1,1);

and when that failed, I tried changing the digital switch to DIO 5 (5,1) in the code and sidecar, and still nothing!. The relay I know for sure works properly, I've tested it, but I don't know what else it could be! Also, I'm pretty sure the switch is wired correctly... black and white pwm wires on the switch. Any Idea what could the problem be?

When you run the code, does the spike relay flash green or red instead of staying at orange color?
