Re: Can't Get Compressor to Run

Just to be sure, the spike PWM is plugged into the Relay section and the pressure sensor to the Digital IO section, correct? I thought that last year we plugged one of them into the PWM section, though I wasn't the electronics person.

EDIT: Which side is negative on the Spike PWM? I heard that it was towards the "B" but I don't see anything on the spike datasheet.

EDIT2: Okay, it started randomly working. I guess we had a loose connection?

GND means ground which is negative.
