And you know you don't have use ALL the ribbon cable that came in the kit, right?

The compressor spike is on a 20 amp breaker. Also, we do know we don't have to use all the ribbon cable, we just haven't cut it yet (we probably will tonight. The pneumatic bumper addition to the cRIO card (NI 9472) will have power wires for our solenoids underneath the ribbon cable).

The advice for 20a breaker involves putting the auto-reset breaker into the spike for the compressor in place of the 20a fuse that you show in place. Using a 20a breaker on the PDB is one thing, but auto-reset in the spike is allowed when the spike controls the compressor as an exception.
