Re: How to wire Air Compressor's spike relay?

If you needed to know how to hook up the compressor, you probably want to know how it shuts on and off.

The pressure switch included in the kit needs to be wired to another PWM cable. Cut off the male end with the metal prongs sticking out, and peel back the white and black wires. Hook those to the screw terminals of the pressure switch. White one on one side, black one on the other side, then plug it into a Digital I/O port.

Then you'll have to program it. I know how to, but I don't have the software loaded on my computer, so someone else will have to chip in on that if your programmers don't know how.
