Re: Compressor/Spike Default Setting = On

When the robot is powered on, even not enabled, your Spike outputs 12V?

How do you have

A: Your Spike wired.
B: Your compressor power wired.
C: The PWM cable to your Spike to IO board wired.
D: The pressure switch wired.
E: Your code setup.

Also, there is nothing wrong with storing at 120PSI. Especially since the blowoff valve blows at like 125 anyway.

First, I do not know of a robot inspector who will allow this to pass.

Second, the PRV is a backup protection to your wiring and code (which must be demonstrated to the inspector) and not a primary protection.

Third, with the compressor running all the time, it is gonna get really hot and fail...

JMHO,

Mike
