Re: pneumatics help

Ok, so the compressor needs to be connected to a spike that's connected to the power distribution board with a 30 amp fuse. Connected to that spike should be a PWM cable going to the sidecar's relays. We used number #1. Then, the pressure switch should be connected to the sidecar's DIO, where we used #2.
It should automatically work once you get that code in there.


The compressor needs a blowoff valve on one side, and on the other side, it needs to go to the pressure switch and bleeding valve. You can t off that and go into the tanks. Hook the tanks up to the solenoids (one side or two side, by the way?)

The solenoids can either have their own spike, but its much cleaner to use the relay/pneumatic module as we did. Just plug each side into any slot on it.
