I assume you followed Greg's advice to make the compressor control loop active in Periodic Tasks?

Disconnect the pressure switch from the Digital Sidecar and measure continuity between the contacts. They should be shorted together when the pressure is too low. If there is an open circuit, replace the switch. Check the Digital Sidecar and look to see whether the relay is being asked to turn on (there should be a green LED lit next to the pins for relay #1). If it is, look at the LED on the Spike (it should change from yellow to green when the robot is enabled).
